Help with child care or care for older relatives easier when closer. Would be interesting to know the distance from grandmothers as well as mothers!

Looks like southerners are the least well-connected to their families

In London, less than a third of people live half an hour away from their mother

In the North East, 71% live within half an hour of their mother

We're looking forward to partnering with @sconnectedness this Summer on an exciting project. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please help spread the word 👇

This doesn't bode well for relationships. @jburnmurdoch suggests different algorithmically walled gardens of TikTok meaning young men and womin inhabit different spaces as as one theory. Education as a shared space therefore matters.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.

I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.

[Relationships Foundation @RelationshipsFD]

What skills do students need to compliment the rise in AI?

“Social skills matter more, creativity, problem solving…
…Pedagogically we need to provide students with an environment where it is safe to fail, a place to reflect…and relationally we need to cooperate”

Technology in education, how does it affect relationships? We had the opportunity to survey 160 classes, with over 1800 relationships between teachers and pupils (and over 40,000 pupil to pupil relationships!).

With AI around, truth telling becomes more central to the learning journey.

James explains that Large Language Models can (and do!) make things up to fit an outcome, so what skills do we need to navigate this challenge?

If the thesis is true then it challenges schools is to be places where:
🤝a wonderful relational reality is experienced
💡optimism in the opportunities that real life affords is inculcated
🏆skills & values to flourish in the real world are developed

He sees challenges as nformation overload, identity pressures, silo separatism, and the paradox of hyper-connectivity and fragmenting hyper-individualism harming relationships "from the innermost part of family life to the loftiest aspects of world order."

Interesting to see the case for putting relationships at the heart of political philosophy. "The time is surely long overdue for another Lockean Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Now it would be an “Essay Concerning Human Relations”.

[Iain Martin @iainmartin1]

The need for roots, balance and a new Enlightenment. The digital age has changed every aspect of human relations. We need new solutions to the global turmoil. (Great long read by @Lordhowell on Reaction @reactionlife) https://t.co/2DMADY02Hd
