• Rapidly changing and demanding world => Unclear priorities of parents.
• Changing/worsening father & mother relationship => Deteriorating family dynamics.
• Materialistic needs overtaking the importance of parent-child relationship.
• Traditional cultural beliefs limiting the responsibility of parenting to the mother.
• Technology & digital media invading our homes => Negative impact on our children’s values.
• Abundance of information => Making hard to decide on how to parent.
“Was parenting easier for previous generations? Sure it was harder to ensure physical health before adequate nutrition and vaccines and antibiotics were available. But today’s parents are more aware of the importance of providing emotional and relational health to their children – and there is no shot to administer to accomplish the task! So you aren’t mistaken if you think it’s incredibly difficult to be a “good parent” these days!” - The Center for Parenting Education
