Parents can now access an infinity of parenting blogs on the web, YouTube channels, and Facebook groups where they can find advice, exchange information, and find solutions to the everyday challenges of parenthood.

Facebook and TikTok have popularized parenting influencers who provide suggestions on gentle parenting, mental health education, and child development, making expert advice more readily available than ever.

New-age philosophy, based on psychology and child development research on children, has greatly influenced the concept of gentle parenting. The more that is learned about child trauma and the horrific long-term consequences, the more parents are turning their attention to emotional health over compliance.

Instead of intimidating children into obedience, gentle parenting brings parents into the role of empathic affirmation, guiding children through challenges, and teaching them about emotional regulation.

However, smartphone and internet use is problematic concerning screen addiction, online safety, and exposure to unsolicited content. Parents find it challenging to navigate between opening access to children while protecting them from the adverse effects of technology. Cyberbullying, data privacy, and social media validation pressure are other problems parents in the modern era have to confront.

The future of parenthood is likely to be a combination of innovation and tradition to ensure that children are brought up in a way that gets them ready for the digital age without diluting the core values of childhood.
