Care and Feeding is Slate’s parenting advice column. Here’s what you need to know

Our 4.5 year old has a great imagination and loves playing by herself, and acting out scenes of her own making.

She doesn’t put up a fight at bedtime, but as soon as we say night night , she’ll play for hours , sometimes not going to sleep until nearly 10 P.M. (despite multiple interjections by me and her dad) She even wakes up in the middle of the night and plays until 4 A.M. , she's tired the next day and sleeps later in the morning .

Any school with a significant population of students impacted by changes to immigration enforcement should have this thought through.

Ask for the materials the school is using so that you can be sure that you’re providing non-conflicting information to your kids.

If this school isn’t doing this already, advocate for it!.
