Risks of Sharenting

2021-11-18T18:29:16+08:00

With more people staying in isolation for safety reasons, the need to feel connected is stronger than ever. In combating solitude, many turn to social media to communicate with their loved ones and provide updates on how they are faring in life. The eagerness to share snippets of each day has increased tenfold that some fall into the trap of giving away too much information, which may have harmful consequences.

Harmony in Matrimony

2021-11-18T18:29:25+08:00

When a man and a woman exchange wedding vows, it is not a mere dialogue, but a promise to stay together, forever. Around the world, the number of years that couples spend as husband and wife vary -- according to online publication Hopes&Fears, marriage may last at an average of 5.5 years based on trends in Doha Qatar, or as long as 18 years, as evidenced by those living in Italy. Outside these numbers, there is living proof that marriages can stand the test of time, especially if both man and wife are truly committed to a life of togetherness.

Teaching Kids Respect

2021-11-18T18:30:30+08:00

As they age, children experience their world expanding before their very eyes. From the four corners of their room, they eventually venture into the great outdoors, setting their sights on places they've only seen in books, and meeting new people in the process. Before they embark on their big adventures, parents should make sure that they are equipped with skills and traits that can help them navigate their changing landscapes. Among these, parents must not forget to instill the value of respect in their kids.

Understanding and Coping with Parental Burnout

2021-11-18T18:30:41+08:00

Being a mom or a dad to children may be a dream to many, but one has to be prepared to fulfill the many responsibilities that go with the title. Unlike usual 9-5 jobs, being a parent is an adventure of a lifetime, a position that impacts not just you but the kids that you have brought into this world. While many take naturally to the role, there are some who struggle with the stress of maintaining order at home. Left unchecked, people from the latter category can succumb to parental burnout. This is defined by researcher and professor Moïra Mikolajczak as "an exhaustion syndrome that occurs when a parent has been exposed to too much stress in their parenting role for too long, in the absence of sufficient resources to compensate for the effect of stress."

Communication Between Parents and Their Teenage Kids

2021-11-18T18:30:49+08:00

When a child becomes a teenager, they begin to come into their own. They spend less time with parents and more time with friends, gain a deeper capacity for more intimate relationships, and show more independence. While some parents may take this in stride, others find themselves clashing with their child's adolescent views. Using negative communication to deal with teenagers can cause chronic conflicts that can be damaging to the family.
