The New Age Moms in the 21st Century

Posted By: vie on September 10, 2009 at 8:46 pm

Toward 21st century, the women’s position is rising to be in par with men. You may see women rise to the top position in politics and corporate world. Working moms are juggling between career and family. I received a feedback from a mom, that dad’s role has changed too. The wives expect their husband to be involved in caring and raising the kids and perhaps in doing house chores to share the burden. You may notice the changes that new age moms have guts, learn new skillox,s and bring their business online with websites and blogs. They have different perspectives for:

Parenting
The parenting style has changed from an authoritarian parent to become an ally or a buddy to our children. How to discipline a child is no longer about a punishment but communicating with a child, correcting a wrong behaviour and preaching a good behaviour. We act as a friend to our kids so they confide in us rather than they trust their friends. With the fast pace of globalisation and technology, we are all worried if these may have negative impacts to our kids. Build a close relation with them so we can instill good values and guide them. We need to follow up the kids’ interest so we can converse the interesting topics with them.

Career
There’s a trend that working moms leave their corporate career behind and establish their home business. Work from home is now possible and it is cost saving. They make their home as Small Office Home Office (SOHO), they don’t hire a permanent staff but outsource from freelancers and virtual assistants. You can browse Work-at-Home Resources for Moms to provide you with business ideas or inspiration how possible moms can work from home. Find out more learning resources for moms, a guide to start service business such as Virtual Assistant Business, Book Keeping Business, or Internet Research Business. If you have a proper guide to equip you with know-how, the service business has a lower start-up cost compared to business selling products.

Social Networking
There are changes in social networking, from offline to online. With the emerging technologies on the web, social networking online is now possible. Moms Network is getting bigger. Moms meet new friends online and it’ is possible to have hundreds online friends through Facebook. Moms exchange views in an online forum and market their home business through social moms networking.
