Living in the 21^st Century has resulted in huge pressures and demands on children and parents alike. Society, our peers and even the media require that our children are technologically savvy and excel from early on so that they can survive and compete in this technically, fast paced, modern world. As a result, we parents, feel compelled to provide all the necessary gadgets and experiences to try and ensure that if not a step ahead of the rest, they are at least able to cope.

We as parents, whilst trying to help, are often disabling our children. We are so focused on giving them “stuff” and doing everything for them that we are stunting their emotional development. Because of this neglect, we are seeing children who suffer from anxiety, crumble under the slightest pressure and feel entitled, with the result that they tend to not cope with rejection and are often not adaptable to different environments.

Typically, children can become obnoxious and show very little respect or regard for their parents, teachers or others. In addition, bullying is on the increase, as well as childhood depression, something rarely found in previous generations. Importantly, children who struggle to engage meaningfully with others struggle to form healthy relationships with others later.

We urgently need to get back to good old parenting practices again. We can’t change the advances in society or the mushrooming media changes. But we can amend our approach to parenting. And we can teach our children how to cope, grow and succeed by helping them grow emotionally.

Why seek outside assistance?

It can provide a person with an outside perspective
From someone with more diverse experience with children
Someone not emotionally involved
Someone with a wider understanding and acknowledged best practices.
Someone who can offer support and guidance
Someone who can pinpoint our successes and help in areas that are lacking
Someone who can help create a new normal
