Empower Pacific is once again emphasizing the importance of effective parenting as antisocial behavior remains a pressing issue. Counsellor Reshmi Singh has called on parents to take a proactive role in their children’s development, advocating for the establishment of a strong moral framework that discourages inappropriate behavior.
Singh contends that while society often points fingers at external influences for pushing youth toward negative actions, the role of a dedicated parent is crucial. When parents actively engage in instilling solid values, children become more resilient against external pressures. She stresses the need for nurturing responsible, community-oriented adults, which directly relies on active parental involvement.
“Effective parenting is not about being perfect — there is no such thing as perfect parenting — but about being present, values-driven, and supportive, allowing children to mature into responsible community members,” states Singh.
Recognizing the realities of modern life, she acknowledges that many families consist of working parents who may struggle to balance professional demands with personal commitments. However, she urges parents to pursue a healthy work-life balance, as their ability to manage emotions, stress, and challenges is essential to effective parenting.
Singh emphasizes the wealth of information available today. Strong family values, coupled with open communication and trusting relationships at home, empower children to critically evaluate online content instead of following it blindly. She asserts that parental influence is strongest when parents are emotionally available.
Moreover, she reminds parents that support services are available for those navigating personal challenges. She encourages openness about difficulties that may affect their parenting journey, as addressing these issues is vital in ensuring a healthy upbringing for children.
Singh invites parents to contact Empower Pacific for parenting resources and guidance, aiming to foster responsible and well-rounded individuals. This call to action reflects a hopeful vision for the future, highlighting the potential of engaged parenting to curb youth misconduct and strengthen community ties.
