@Vann certainly brought up this point during the event. The existence of children around a professional existence seems to get more accepted. (I am still working on the event summary.)
The burden is of course all the greater for the working parent who still has to deliver the work, and on time.
During the lockdown i was questioning myself of a possible paradigm to analyse the smart working condition while parenting. I converted a whole room to a kind of Montessori lab with paper, glue, fabric, wood sticks, leaves, etc… for my daughter and put some limits to smartwork shift in order to combine the two situations. Hope this schema helps the discussion with this little game… Where would you set yourself and your child according to different age and kind of work?

My daughter would be dead center. Luckily for them the kids have outdoor space so they can run around some. Being in an apartment must be tough.
Our next AMA is quite relavnt to this topic:
On the 9th of December 18:30 to 19:30 psychologist Erik Bohjort joins for an AMA.
- Would you wish you could change your own behaviour sometimes?
- Are you wondering how much technology is actually ok for your children, and if and how they can learn with digital tools?
- Are you developing an app, website, project to change and improve the world, and want to know how to best influence behaviour or how to nudge?
- Do you have your own insights and/or issues (2020 has been hard on everyone…) you just really would like to discuss with a psychologist?
Then you are in luck!

To everyone who had joined this session last year:
Our ethnographer team has launched a question about how employers deal with applicants and the effects of that on our perception of time, work and self-worth.
Your insights and opinions on that would be very welcome!
