multi-platform parent resource and community in the Philippines
In the past year and a half, however, many parents have had to work with technology and media and their kids. As the world almost completely digitised overnight and technology even became part of how children were to go to school, parents had to find new ways to balance the old notions and the new systems.
Having a baby is one of the most exciting times for any couple or family. Whether it be the first baby or the second, third, fourth, or fifth, every addition adds to the excitement. With the excitement, however, comes a bit of anxiety. All parents watch their babies with wonder and love, but also with a bit of anxiety as they wait for their babies to hit their milestones.
Resilience, defined as the ability to adjust or recover from change or challenges is one of the most important capabilities we can teach our children. There are many unknowns in life, and making sure they have the strength and hardiness to adapt and spring back is the best way we can prepare them to face the world in any stage of their lives. This is what Mommy Mundo’s Community Program Director, Kit Malvar Llamas, tackled in the fifth session of the Conscious Parenting series, hosted on Google Meet.
What makes a “conscious parent”? The question isn’t easy to answer, but the gist would be this: It’s about understanding your child’s behaviour by first understanding your own self.
