1. THE CHALLENGES OF
PARENTING IN THE 21ST
CENTURY
BY:
Pst . Abdul Kokori

2. It all started with God.
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in
our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule
over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,
over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a]
and over all the creatures that move along the
ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them; male and
female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be
fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth
and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and
the birds in the sky and over every living
creature that moves on the ground.”

3. Raising children is one of the
most important duties we are
given by God. According to Holy
books “Train up a child in the
way he should go: and when he is
old, he will not depart from it.
Parents have the sole
responsibility of raising their
children in the fear of God and to
educate them to unleash their
God-given potential.

4. Parenting, at its core, is about making wise choices in order to
prepare young men and women to be released into the world
as responsible adults.
“Successful Parenting” as a means to help encourage the
growth of healthy families, healthy neighborhoods, and healthy
communities.
Before you can make most if your parenting . you must

8. Why diligent in parenting duties?
Every CHILD
is A potential
Genius

10. Parents have the sole responsibility of raising their children
in the fear of God and to educate them sufficiently to
unleash their God-given potential.
The big question is “Are
parents sufficiently
equipped for this task?
The answer is NO.

11. Think of all the crimes, tragedies, wars;
we humans have suffered so far.
Then ask why these happened?
You will find that the single most
important reason behind these tragedies
is “Parenting Failure.”
REFLECTION ?

12. "Your child has entered this world equipped with a
super-computer that can be programmed to achieve
almost anything."
Yes, this is true. And it applies not just to your child,
but to every one of us also.
We all have what it takes to function at optimum level-
-to be the best student, to be the best in our career,
and to function efficiently in every area of our life.

13. Want proof?
See the wonderful things and systems around you: Personal computer,
Internet, Satellite, Spaceship, Mobile phone, Video conference, modern
health-care systems, development in biotechnology, and other millions of
wonderful things that make life easy and enjoyable.
ALL these were conceived and created by a human brain.
Most important thing to note here is that some of the owners of these
creative brains were considered as dull or average when they were
children!

14. We have become parents in a completely
different era than the one we grew up in.
probably our parents didn’t face much of
this problem than the challenges parents
face in the 21st century.
The challenges parents face in the 21st
century are much more difficult than
the previous generations of parenting.
Being a parent today is the most
satisfying and at the same time, the
most complicated task.

15. WHAT ARE THE PARENTING
CHALLENGINGS IN THE 21ST
CENTURY?
Mobile Phone Addiction:
No matter which country you
live in, this is the most common
challenge of the 21st century.
Your children can become prey
to the gadget’s energy in just a
few clicks

16. 1.It is impossible to completely avoid
screentime, but you can always
limit the timings dedicated to it.
2.Use parental control and monitor
what they watch and when they
watch without their knowledge.
3.Give them options to watch
educational entertainment videos
rather than the seamless animated
videos.

17. 2. Getting Them to Study
Children are moody. They
procrastinate a lot when it is
about completing their
homework or an exam is
coming up. Even if you want
them to be in touch with their
books, sometimes, it is very
difficult.

18. 3. Aggressive Child
This is one of the most challenging
parenting issues that drive the parents
crazy. When their actions go unchecked
continuously, they develop this habit of
being angry, screaming, breaking things
over little things.

19. 4. Disobedience
There are times when they start
refusing for anything you ask them
to do. Most parents think that this is
rudeness and they should be
punished were in fact, the children
are only trying to make their own
identity and opinion.

20. 5. Lying
One of the most painful
parenting problems;
lying. All children lie at
one or another point in
their lives.

21. 6. Constantly Complaining
Children are impulsive. They want
what they want. But, when they
don’t get it, they start whining
about your parenting patterns or the
ways that you have ignored them.

22. 7. Siblings Rivalry
Another one of the parenting issues
is the continuous fight among
siblings. They don’t like each other
no matter what you tell them. It
ruins the house environment and
you get in a lot of trouble mentally.

23. 8. Tantrums
Well, they learn it soon. But remember
there is a big difference between
whining and tantrums. When they are
throwing a tantrum, there is no reason
behind it. They mostly won’t even talk
to you about what is causing the trouble.
They just want what they want.

24. 9. Confidence Lacking
When children grow, they
meet other children and
fellows at school. Some are
too much confident in
engaging with other
children but others prefer
to avoid any
communication. These are
the ones lacking
confidence.

25. Improper Eating Habits
This is a common parenting
issue. They don’t tend to eat
the right thing at the right
time. Instead, they prefer an
unhealthy diet.

27. IT IS ACHIEVABLE WHEN YOU
MIND SAYS
“ YOU CAN”

28. Thank you for
your
kind attention
