From family gaming replacing TV, to the 'Greta Effect’, period parties to plastic-free living, a new report has revealed some of the top trends expected to shape parenting in the next decade. The study, of 2,000 parents, found activist Greta Thunberg has inspired a generation of smalls to sit up and take action when it comes to climate change and the environment. According to the report we could see more parenting journeys starting from the moment of conception, with natural pregnancies predicted to rise. In a prediction that suggests family movie nights could be numbered, the study also found 47% of parents are planning to try gaming together in 2020 instead of sitting down to watch TV or a film. “Kids are hyper aware of their impact on the world and the positive changes they want to see and are actively making them happen, rather than waiting for the adults to do it for them.” Ten parenting trends predictions for 2020, according to ChannelMum.com: 1. The Greta Effect - Activism has been turned on its head and instead of listening to grown-ups, children are becoming increasingly vocal about causes they believe in. The old tradition of sitting down to watch TV together is increasingly being replaced by a multi-player, bonding family gaming session. Co-working spaces like Cuckooz Nest and Mama Works are responding to demand by providing offices where mums can meet, network and share childcare in a very modern ‘mum village’. The top eco trend is to remove all family plastic, from nappies to bathing products, clothing and buggies. Though still relatively unknown in the UK, the therapy is a big step forward in protecting mental health and emotional wellbeing. Micro scheduling - 8am dishwasher goes on, 8.05am write shopping list, 8.10am check emails before school run while kids pack their bags. An increasing number of modern mums tightly plan their entire day minute-by-minute to cram in everything, with downloadable micro scheduling templates now available online.
