Scenario

When family WhatsApp coordination for elderly relatives becomes competitive

My family has a WhatsApp group for our aging grandmother who lives in another country and everyone shares updates about calling her and visiting but it's become this subtle competition about who's being the most attentive grandchild and I can see it's stressing her out when we all coordinate surprise calls that end up overwhelming her. We want to support her but our digital coordination is creating its own pressure.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to collectively care across distance is generating performance dynamics that serve the givers' anxiety more than the receiver's actual needs.
