Parenting
Parents have always asked the question, “Are we doing right by the child?” Parenting as a journey is beautiful but also filled with challenges. While there is no right answer to that question it is important that we offer unconditional love and support to our children all while looking after their menta health and those of parents.
With information overload parenting has its own challenges. Children today have access to a lot more information and parents have this added task to stay on top of things. While children are innocent and may not always know how to process the information; it is important to create an atmosphere of support and encourage them to ask questions.
It is also important for parents to acknowledge that they might not have all the answers and find themselves feeling vulnerable. In this parenting section, we invite mental health experts to offer evidence-based insights, and practical tips through articles and dialogues.
