The new episode of Open to Debate's podcast series “Generational Divides" brings representatives from three different generations to debate a few questions about modern parenting:
- Has social media made parenting harder?
- Does gentle parenting work?
- Should kids be free to roam?
If you’ve ever scrolled through r/Parenting on Reddit or a mom support group on Facebook, you know raising kids has become a minefield. Every tip has a counter tip, every method a manifesto, and a quick Google can surface a myriad of new worries. Parents have splintered into camps — sleep train or co-sleep? Hand over the iPad or redirect to the Pinterest-perfect Montessori shelves? Somewhere along the way, older generations started looking at younger generations and asking: Are the parents alright?
The debaters are:
- For Baby Boomers: Lenore Skenazy, Co-founder of the Free-Range Kids movement
- For Gen X: Reshma Saujani, Founder of Girls Who Code; CEO of Moms First
- For Millennials: Kristin Gallant, Co-founder of Big Little Feelings
- Guest Moderator: Nick Gillespie, Editor-at-Large at Reason
Listen/watch the episode on YouTube, Substack, or wherever you get podcasts.
