Parenting

Villa Maria College —

In current times, parenting faces a unique set of challenges amplified by rapid technological advancements and shifting societal norms. Balancing screen time and ensuring responsible online behavior has become increasingly complex as children are immersed in digital environments from an early age. Navigating the ever-evolving landscape of social media and online interactions requires parents to foster both digital literacy and emotional well-being. Additionally, the ongoing global health concerns have prompted new considerations for children's physical and mental health, requiring parents to adapt their approaches to education, socialisation, and overall family dynamics to ensure a resilient and balanced upbringing. Below are some websites that can help support you on your parenting journey.
