There are some trends about pregnancy, motherhood and parenting that are the order of the day and that many families follow. Have you followed or do you want to follow some of these trends? Read on to find out what is currently being worn.
1. Applications for fertility monitoring
When your mother wanted to get pregnant, she did not know when her most fertile moments were or her fertile window, she stayed in a state almost without knowing when her fertile period was due and they did not know when they would get pregnant. Imagine how women who wanted to get pregnant and did not know how to do it or when their most fertile period was.
Nowadays, there are many apps for women who want to get pregnant and can keep track of their ovulation period and know when is the fertile period and t are more likely to get pregnant.
2. More personalized births
Patient-centered care is becoming more prevalent in hospitals around the world, and mothers play a more active role in deciding their labor and delivery experience. The emphasis is on a more personalized birth, whether that means inviting a birth photographer to the delivery room or working with a midwife who can personalize the process.
3. Working women
Women don’t give up their careers after having children. In the United States, 70% of women whose children are under the age of 18 have returned to work, up from 47% in 1975 – a breakthrough!
This may be related to other trends, such as women having children later in life, often because they already have strong careers and good financial stability. It can also be attributed to the fact that children’s needs can be costly and economies have changed dramatically since the 2008 crisis. Parents are more likely to wait until they are financially secure before starting a family.
Furthermore, women also marry later than when their mothers and grandmothers did. Considering all of these factors, it is perhaps not surprising that the average family size is shrinking.
4. Children’s names change
Every time there are much more disparate names in families, because traditional names begin to be strange names in families. Parents are betting more and more on less sound names and that in this way their children may be more likely to be unique with their name. Although popular names also gain strength whether they are names inspired by royalty or television series.
5. Educate from respect
This trend is undoubtedly beneficial for all families. Children need respect in order to grow up feeling safe, and for parents to respect their children they will first have to respect themselves. Positive discipline and Emotional Intelligence are the best allies in the education and raising of children. Parents can be trained on it to have a parenting full of harmony, love and respect.
6. The information age
Parents like to stay informed and can currently get the information they need just one click away. Mothers or grandmothers could not have as much information as there is now, therefore, parents must use new technologies wisely in order to know which information is correct and acceptable and which must be rejected because it is not true.
Information is power, but the more information you have in power, the more misinformation there is, it is a double-edged sword that you have to know how to use so that the information is really a benefit for families.
