This chapter explores how technology has changed parental behavior and discusses the negative consequences of constantly monitoring and mistrusting children. It also emphasizes the need to rethink parental behavior and the role of technology to improve outcomes for children.
On this edition of Weekend Conversations, host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan have a wide-ranging conversation on how parenting approaches have continued to evolve in the past decade, as parents stay heavily involved in their kids lives well into their college lives--and beyond. Robert shares a parallel between this parenting approach and the widely critiqued leadership approach of micromanagement, and how to help the people you lead grow by letting them fail from time to time.
