Table For Four: A Family Conversation

Welcome back to another episode. We asked the kids to watch and read the Academy Award-winning Book for Animated Short Film. The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse By Charlie Mackesy. This book was written during the pandemic and has resonated with so many people around the world. It is a reflection of how we handle life post-pandemic. Trying to find kindness, compassion, and friendships with interaction with strangers. At the time of this recording, it won an Oscar. This book was suggested to us by one of the sales rep at Barnes & Noble.

On this week's episode, our topic is: How as AI changed the way we work?
We try to answer the questions:
What are some of the consequences that go along with it; does the punishment fit the crime?
How has the face of education change the way we learn?
What are the pros and cons of using the AI?
What will the education system look like in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?
Does AI get a free pass for plagiarism?

We are back to another season of Table For Four: A Family Conversation. We hope everyone's doing well in this first quarter of 2023. Now let's get to it. We feel that there isn't many talks about kids and internet safety. Although there might be many articles and publications out there. We felt the need to talk about this with our kids. On this episode we talked about having a family contract on the do's and don'ts of Technology, the Roblox Robux scam and the potential banning of TikTok in the U.S. Come join the conversation. 

"There is nothing more important than family and we are here to remind you of that"

We have known each since our college days and it was an absolute pleasure speaking with Diane Linton about her business.

There is something else we shared in common our children both suffer from epilepsy. It was exactly a year ago today that we discovered Stefan was diagnosed with epilepsy and what a journey it has been to find someone else who understands and gets what we have been through.

We as moms try to juggle and balance kids, careers businesses, and marriage on top of everything else in life. It was such an honor learning about her journey and how with faith and a little planning we can do what we can do some amazing things.
