"In an era dominated by social media highlight reels and glossy portrayals of parenthood, there's a growing need for authenticity and honesty in discussions surrounding the art of raising children," states Setsooto Sihawu, marketing executive of Medshield Medical Scheme. "The event will feature a series of talks from renowned professionals and experienced parents who will share their knowledge and personal experiences to help attendees navigate the complexities of parenting."
The theme of this webinar, Motherhood Unplugged: Real Talk, Real Tips, Real Moms, encapsulates the essence of a need for honest conversations and solid advice, and offers a platform for genuine, unfiltered conversations about the realities of parenting. Experts delve into the pressures and expectations placed on modern parents and acknowledging that parenthood is inherently challenging, and the pressure to meet unrealistic standards of perfection has only intensified in recent years. The webinar aims to normalise perceived imperfection, promote self-compassion, and provide parents with practical tools and support.
Hosted by Medshield Mom ambassador and digital entrepreneur Mpoomy Ledwaba, this webinar promises to be an engaging and informative experience for all attendees. Guest speakers will cover a range of pertinent topics aimed at empowering parents:
- Raising Resilient Kids – Naomi Holdt, psychologist and author, will share strategies for fostering emotional well-being in children.
- Preventative Healthcare – Dr Nadia Khan, a pediatrician, will discuss the importance of preventive measures in child health.
- Laying Solid Digital Foundations – Christy Herselman, author and educator, and Nqobile Maphumulo, clinical psychologist, will address the challenges of digital parenting and how to establish healthy digital habits.
Participants stand a chance to win fabulous prizes, including baby hampers, pamper hampers, an air fryer, and more! Our generous partners, including Bennetts, Baby Yum Yum, Alliance, Medshield MOVEment, and Snuggletime, have made these giveaways possible.
"We recognise parents' critical role in shaping future generations' health and well-being. By providing free educational resources and support, Medshield Mom aims to alleviate some of the pressures parents face and empower them with knowledge and tools to ensure their children thrive," states Sihawu.
