Should women prioritize motherhood in the first few years of baby’s life? With Erica Komisar
Manage episode 425678294 series 3582491
Our guest today, Erica Komisar certainly thinks so. She believes that mothers in particular should spend significant time being present with their children in the first three years of life - quitting their jobs if necessary. To say that this topic is complex is an understatement, and it may lead to strong feelings on both sides of the conversation. As we value the opportunity to engage with experts who share differing perspectives, next week we’ll be bringing you an episode with Vivvi daycare founder Ben Newton who will present an alternate view, so be sure to listen to both episodes back-to-back for the full story.
