In this episode, journalist and Breakpoint host Maria Baer joins us to unpack one of the most urgent questions of modern parenting: Is our digital world robbing children of an embodied childhood?As a contributing author to Pro-Child Politics, Maria explores how digital tech, especially in education, is subtly but profoundly reshaping what it means to grow up. This isn’t just about screen addiction or online bullying. It’s about how technology is replacing real-world, bodily, human experiences that children need to grow, learn, and flourish.We talk about why education isn’t just about information, why physical presence matters, and how even good tech can’t replicate the relational, tactile, and spiritual formation that comes through embodied living. Plus: practical steps parents and schools can take to reclaim a more analog, more human way of raising kids.This one’s a must-listen for anyone raising or educating kids in a tech-saturated world, and for advocates who want to put children’s needs first in our cultural and policy debates.Check out more from Maria at:https://mariabaer.substack.com/https://breakpoint.org/breakpoint-podcasts/
