From Covid Challenges to Cell Phones: Parenting Wisdom with Samuel, Nelda, and Dr. Laura
Parenting can sometimes be tough to navigate. Throw in a global pandemic and things get even more complicated!
Join 3 Coke Scholars in a candid conversation about the twists and turns of raising children and teenagers:
- Samuel Wakefield (2001) – Leadership Director, The Organizer Zero Project; Partner, DEI Works; & father of 4
- Nelda Brown (1989) – School Board Staff Aide, Fairfax County School Board & cousin-mommy to teenager Eric
- Dr. Laura Froyen (2002) – Early Childhood and Parenting Specialist & mother of 2
The trio discuss the challenges of parenting in the age of covid, cell phones, and social media; the importance of having an open mind; and their unique parenting journeys.
The episode is introduced by Aisha Chebbi (2020).
