21st Century Kid

21st Century kids are the children of now. In this blog I am going to look at what its like to parent these kids. I myself am a mother of two who is finding that each day comes with  new adventures and challenges.

Today's children are under an overwhelming amount of pressure as they are constantly being  compared to each other, monitored, and assessed. With spectrum disorders, food allergies and sensitivities,therapies,play dates and after-school clubs, its exhausting just thinking about it.
I found the first few months of motherhood complicated and confusing as there was the vaccination debate and I like many other mothers didn't know what was the safe and sensible thing to do.
Many children don't have the freedom to play outdoors as much as we did when we were kids and certainly not as freely as every activity is strictly monitored and tightly scheduled. Their world is bombarded with technology, WiFi, too much choice and over stimulation. 
​
As I navigate the minefield of parenting in this new age I will be sharing the many aspects of my journey with you where we will be delving into topics such as home education which is hugely on the increase, food sensitivities and nutrition. 

In the month of January we will be looking at the relationship between kids and food.

​Check back in a few days for my next blog on healthy eating.
