Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: parenting in cohousing in the internet age

[Daniel Lindenberger (daniel]

As a counterpoint, I'd definitely recommend "Reality is Broken" by Jane
McGonigal. A brief talk based on the ideas in that book is here:

It's definitely a complex issue worthy of research.

Cheers,
Daniel
