In this episode: Step into the complex world of post-pandemic parenting with Michelle Mintz, where the line between pandemic repercussions and the challenges of modern parenting blurs. As we unravel the threads of today's parenting dilemmas, we're left wondering: Is it the pandemic to blame, or have we been on this trajectory all along, courtesy of our digital companions?
What's the real pandemic? Our phones might recognize our faces better than our kids do! Join us as we dissect whether we're battling pandemic fallout or just the classic trials of modern parenting. Are children struggling to socialize because of lockdowns, or because they think the 'like' button is a valid form of emotional expression?

Screen Time vs. Real Time: Delve into the ongoing debate of screen time, where Michelle shares insights on balancing digital engagement with real-life interactions. Remember those? Routine Resurrection: How to establish routines that resonate with our new normal, empowering parents and children alike to thrive post-pandemic. The New Normal or the Old Challenges?: Is the pandemic the root of all complexities, or is it merely exposing the underlying challenges of modern parenting? We discuss how our gadgets have become both a bane and a boon. Rediscovering Connections: Learn how to foster genuine connections in a digitized world. It all starts with putting your phone down! Yes, you can do it! Because, at the end of the day, parenting might just be the most demanding job that no app can do for us—yet. Let's laugh a little at the absurdity, learn a lot from each other, and remind ourselves that the best connections are indeed human.
Tune in now and let's face the world of parenting post-pandemic, armed with knowledge, empathy, and a good sense of humor. Because sometimes, laughter is the only way to make sense of it all.
