The Report Card with Nat Malkus

OwlTail

Matt Crawford speaks with author Nate Hilger about his book, The Parent Trap: How to Stop Overloading Parents and Fix Our Inequality Crisis. Few of us realize what a herculean effort raising children can be. You have to be parent, tutor, coach, therapist, tech and so much more, if this were to be valued in dollars it would be a billion-dollar industry, yet a lot of parents have very little infrastructure or organization to assist and advocate for them. Nate and I discuss what we can do to change that, how it affects different socio-economic groups and our own parenting experiences. I hope you will give a listen and a read.
