Clone of Parenting with confidence: discover the new Comon project
Parenting is an adventure, full of questions, choices, and challenges. In a world of digital stimuli, endless advice, and an increasingly individualistic society, it can easily become overwhelming. That’s why Comon is launching the new project 'Parenting with confidence', to bring together (grand)parents, teachers, educators and youth workers. Together we’re building a stronger parenting community — because 'It takes a village to raise a child'. Discover more about this new Comon project.
Parental stress is completely normal
Stress expert Marie-Anne Vanderhasselt (Ghent University) explains how parenting can throw us off balance: "Parenting is a unique experience that can, from time to time, shake us to our core. That shaking is exactly what we mean by stress, it unsettles us. We feel that the demands or expectations are greater than what we can handle at that moment. Parental stress is completely normal, because we often set high expectations for ourselves, or want to do better than we’re capable of. And also because children frequently show unexpected emotions or behaviors, while parents have to juggle many things at once."
How is Comon tackling this?
Over the next one and a half year, Comon will take on the challenge: “How can we raise children with confidence?” We’ll do this by bringing people together to search for solutions. Everyone is welcome. Together we’ll brainstorm about the root causes of parental stress, come up with technological solutions and actually build them together. The focus is on connecting people, because parenting is not something you do alone. That’s how we make Ghent even better
Hoe pakt Comon dit aan?
Comon wil er mee voor zorgen dat iedereen kan blijven deelnemen aan die snel veranderende wereld. En mensen ondersteunen, versterken en vertrouwen geven in hun eigen toekomst op de werkplek en daarbuiten.
Hoe? Via een design thinking traject van anderhalf jaar. Door mensen bij elkaar te brengen om samen naar oplossingen te zoeken. Iedereen is welkom. Samen brainstormen we over ons welzijn op de werkplek in tijdens van digitalisering, we bedenken technologische oplossingen en gaan die ook samen maken. De nadruk ligt op het verbinden van mensen. Zo maken we Gent nóg beter.
