In the last four episodes here on The Generational View, we’ve heard about Gen Zers from those who teach them and engage with them in schools, and those who manage them in the workplace. In the next two episodes of The Generational View, we’ll hear from those that do these things as well… just in the home… holding down one of the most important and toughest jobs in the world - parents. It’s no secret that Gen Z is different from any previous generation and these episodes are meant to help us understand how parenting has played a role in that, from shaping their values to shepherding their experiences.
