Where do kids belong?

Where do kids belong?

Where do kids belong?
Should babies be welcome in bars? Is childhood content for social media? When can kids legally be left home alone?
This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir talks with Vancouver Magazine Editor-in-Chief Stacey McLachlan about parental isolation, why social spaces that welcome children are important for parents' well-being, and how bringing babies to bars could help parents reclaim their social lives. Plus, Mom Uncharted creator and TIME100 Creators honouree Sarah Adams discusses the dangers of turning childhood into content, the difference between sharing and exploitation, and whether an entire generation of children will grow up resenting their parents for "sharenting" their childhoods. And finallly, Acumen Law's Kyla Lee explains what B.C. law actually says about leaving children unsupervised, whether age and duration matter, and what consequences parents could face for leaving their kids home alone.
