Summary of the Talk
In today’s digital age, the paradox of being “Connected but Disconnected” is more relevant than ever. Parents face the challenge of navigating their children’s screen time and digital habits. On 1st June 2024, at Genesis Preparatory Academy, an enlightening workshop addressed these concerns, emphasizing the importance of creating meaningful connections with children in a digitally saturated world.
Key Highlights of the Workshop:
1. Children at the Center of Conversations:
The workshop underscored the importance of placing children at the heart of family conversations. This approach fosters a sense of belonging and makes children feel valued and heard.
2. Timing and Attention: Effective parenting involves giving children attention when they need it, not just when it is convenient for parents. The workshop highlighted that one of the main reasons for screen addiction is the lack of proper attention from parents.
3. Guiding, Not Forcing: Parents were encouraged to focus on helping their children become the best version of themselves, rather than imposing their own ideas of what is good or bad. The goal is to provide direction and support, rather than strict instructions and teaching.
4. Non-Judgmental Time: One of the most impactful strategies discussed was spending 30 minutes every day with children without asking questions, judging, or expecting anything from them. This non-judgmental time allows children to open up and feel more connected to their parents.
The session was conducted by Reuben Mathew, a renowned Personality Development Coach and Motivational Speaker. Ben’s insights and practical advice provided parents with the tools they need to foster healthier digital habits and stronger family connections.
Join us for future sessions and continue to empower yourself with knowledge and strategies to navigate the digital landscape. Together, we can create a more connected and less disconnected world for our children.
