Podcast Description
In this podcast, we explore the singular choices we make as parents, in 2025. I hope these discussions will bring parents -and anyone interested in the new generation of citizens- questions and tools to navigate the unknowns more peacefully, more intentionally. Through these episodes, I wish to give all parents the confidence to trust their kids, to trust in the future, to collaborate with one another and with the educators, to proactively seek ways of using the superpowers AI provides, instead of being afraid and opting out.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Focuses on contemporary parenting dilemmas, technology's role in child-rearing, and multicultural upbringing, with episodes tackling themes such as bilingual education, emotional intelligence, and the integration of AI in children's development as demonstrated in the episode featuring Sandra and Yotam on raising a trilingual child.
NewKid is a podcast where I sit down with parents and talk about the singular choices we make raising our children today: what we would love to nurture, and how could technology serve us on this mission.
