Parenting in today's world is becoming increasingly difficult, with several factors contributing to this phenomenon. Here are some of my observations:
- We have grown accustomed to comfort, which has made the energy required for parenting seem more demanding.
- Our children are constantly exposed to social media and its influencers, which can be unhealthy. How can parents keep up?
- Children are pushed towards independence too soon, leading to detachment from their parents and closer connections to their peers.
- Our desire for more money, freedom, and experiences has increased. We crave quick results and are intolerant of boredom.
To address these issues, we need to take a step back and reset. We must slow down and embrace discomfort. Reconnecting with each other and revisiting the basics is essential.
