An Open Letter To My Children Regarding The Commencement Of Asynchronous Parenting

Hi! It’s me! Digital Dad.

Dear Sam and Sylvie,

This is to inform you that, effective immediately, your mother and I will be parenting asynchronously. This is not a punishment but, rather, an acknowledgment of your maturity and comfort with technology.

As we have learned from your teachers, we no longer need to have an in-person connection to confidently advance your development.

Regardless of our location (we’ll be on Martha’s Vineyard next week, by the way), you can be certain you are being cared for.
