Ep 170. Christine Beckman: Living, Working and Parenting in the Digital Age
“Do you live in a world where work is endless, family is all consuming, and exhaustion is the norm? You are not alone.”
Christine Beckman
In this episode, Stew and Christine talk about the pluses and minuses of technology for working families, especially during these pandemic times, when so many are working from home for the first time and when parents are attempting to manage remote school work for their children. They discuss the ills and potential benefits of social media and strategies for harnessing technology as a force for good. And they address the ways both social policy and individual initiative can strength the social support, or scaffolding, working families need now more than ever.
