PARENTAL CHALLENGES
Parents of primary school children face a variety of challenges as they strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for their children. Here are the top four challenges they often encounter:
Academic Support
Parents must help your children with schoolwork, which can be challenging if you are unfamiliar with the curriculum or teaching methods. Balancing work commitments with providing academic support can be a significant challenge.
quality family Time
Juggling work, household chores, co-curricular activities, and family time while ensuring that children receive the attention they need can be a struggle.
Technology and Screen Time
Managing screen time and ensuring that children use technology responsibly is a growing concern. With the prevalence of smartphones, tablets, and computers, parents must monitor and guide your children’s digital activities.
Social and emotional development
Nurturing a child’s social and emotional development is crucial, and parents must navigate issues like bullying, peer pressure, and helping your children develop healthy friendships and coping mechanisms.

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Encouraging your child to think critically, analyse information, and solve complex problems is crucial. In the 21st century, the ability to adapt, innovate, and make informed decisions is highly valued in various aspects of life, from work to personal relationships.
Digital Literacy and Technology Skills
In today’s digital age, being proficient with technology is essential. This includes not only knowing how to use digital tools and devices but also understanding the implications of technology on society, privacy, and ethics.
Creativity and Innovation
Fostering creativity and an innovative mindset will help your child to come up with novel solutions, think outside the box, and adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. Creativity is valuable in fields ranging from art and science to business and entrepreneurship.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
EQ involves self-awareness, empathy, and effective communication. Developing emotional intelligence helps individuals navigate relationships, manage conflicts, and work collaboratively. It’s crucial for both personal and professional success.
Global and Cultural Awareness
In a globalised world, being culturally aware and open-minded is vital. This includes understanding different cultures, perspectives, and global issues. It will help your child to communicate effectively across diverse environments and promotes tolerance and empathy.
