They say it takes a village to raise children… and I agree. Considering my kids were born during simpler times (2001-2004… no social media, no AI, no streaming services, etc.), I still needed help. I’m grateful to have had a reliable helper and yaya back then so it wasn’t that hard. I honestly don’t know how I could’ve managed work, household chores, plus a baby and a toddler at the same time without them.
These days, kids are not only molded by the home, the church, and the school but they are also exposed to all kinds of easily accessible content. Almost everyone now has a smartphone, tablet, or computer… with these gadgets come more things to navigate through. What they can watch, listen to, play with… it all contributes to the person they will eventually become.
Mommy Mundo MOMCON 2024 is a 1-day conference, the first-of-its-kind gathering of moms, dads, and the industry that nurtures parents and families. During this event, it is our goal for every participant to learn the 3 most valuable forms of CONNECTION: Connection within ourselves, Connection with our children and families, and Connection with our environment / the world. There will be a distinguished roster of speakers as well as roundtable discussions to help parents understand and work their way through the challenges of raising children here and now.
I remember growing up in the 80s that mental health wasn’t really a thing at home or in school. It was all so simple. We ate, slept, went to school, played, and spent a lot of time being bored. There was no entertainment-on-demand. Heck there was no internet. When I was bored I’d go into my grandparents’ library to read books, even if most of the books there were encyclopedias. Believe it or not, I actually had fun reading through encyclopedias.
