Better technology in monitoring your kid/s is about to set ablaze in 2017. According to Nitin Pander, CEO of Parentune that while safety is understandably a big concern for parents who send their kids to day care centers, all while almost any centers are offering online access to parents watching their child's activities any day of the week, there is a significant possibility that there will be more innovative techniques coming into play next year, and it is expected to witness stronger and better technological assistance for parents. Longer breastfeeding is a thing of choice since most mothers breastfeed their babies for a span of 6-9 months and some mothers who carried on beyond two years or more, shied away from telling people of being judged and discriminated.
Silky Saures, a fitness instructor uttered that in India, prolonged breastfeeding is tough as compared to the West. She admitted that she breastfed her daughter for three years and it was considered a standard practice in their place (Munich). She later suggested that mothers like her should buy breastfeeding sling to breastfeed in public places and make it acceptable to other parts of the world and the best thing to do it is you don't have to be ashamed, she said.
Cease over-sharenting is about to bloom next year as well. Most of the kids have their social media pages before they turn one. Some make their social media welcome with ultrasound pictures as well! All in all, before these children can go on to realize how social media works, they already have an online personality that has been shaped to depth by their parents. Stacey Steinberg, a law professor and the associate director of Center on Children and Families, Florida wrote in a post that parents don't share information online maliciously but instead they fail to consider the potential or longevity of what's happening to the information they are posting online. All these puts the child's safety at greater risk. As many parents have started to realize, hence, the trend of over-sharenting will probably see a downfall circus next year. Barbies for girls, hot wheels for boys but nonetheless gender-neutral toys are set to be effective the very next year. An article on Babble.com says that toys are not for boys or girls, it's for kids. Not only it will break stereotypes, but kids should have equal access to new concepts that will not alter their boundaries of what they should like and what they should be like.
According to an article in PSHYPERLINK, an enormous rise of technology is almost as equal as the increase to an expert nanny, like today when parents hire a nanny in India, they just see if the caregiver is hygienic or active to cope up with the kid's immediate needs and also an emerging trend of hiring nannies with medical licenses, proper educational attainment, ability to speak English and many more. Lastly, there is a better maternity leave policy. Since paid maternity leave extends from three to six months, PwC announced that the leave will now be approximately three years for child care. And with corporates becoming more and more sensitive, 2017 could see some more alternatives that will empower a mother in many ways than one.
