Season 01 : Episode 02 : Staying Sane – Digital parenting during a pandemic

Episode Summary

The Stay at Home order as a result of the CoronaVirus has had an immense impact on family dynamics – particularly in terms of technology and device usage. Cabin fever + boredom + too much togetherness can become a real challenge, and as a result it’s easy to feel like a parenting failure. You’re not alone, we’re all screwing it up.

For this episode, I interviewed William- a father of four, Hailey and Holly a mother-daughter duo from Long Island, and my own two best friends from high school – Phoebe and Clarice. I asked them about where they are succeeding and where they are failing in terms of digital parenting. Their answers are honest, helpful, and frequently hilarious. I hope you enjoy hearing this episode as much as I enjoyed creating it for you. Remember –

Parenting is hard. Be kind yourself
