Between Tradition and TikTok: Parenting in Pakistan’s Digital Age

Описание: Tonight’s Live Session at 9 PM PK / 8:30 PM Kabul / 11 AM EST:

Samina Ahsan and Nageen Shah Live Tonight will explore a crucial topic for Pakistani families: Parenting in the Age of Social Media – Raising children between two worlds: traditional and digital.
Our guest for tonight will be renowned Journalist and mother Rabia Pir .
In Pakistan today, many parents find themselves at the crossroads of two very different realities. On one hand is the deeply rooted cultural framework of respect, extended-family involvement, communal values and face-to-face interaction. On the other, lies a fast-moving digital universe: smartphones, social apps, influencers, online peer pressure, and global trends.

We’ll examine questions like:

-How do parents maintain traditional values of discipline, respect, family honour and community while their children are immersed in the global digital culture?

-What are the risks and opportunities that social media brings in the Pakistani context — from cyberbullying and unrealistic beauty/wealth ideals to self-expression, creativity and educational access?

-How do rural vs. urban settings differ in terms of exposure, access and mindset?

-How can parents, educators and the community guide young people to thrive — not just survive — in this hybrid world?

We look forward to your comments, thoughts and questions as we bridge traditions and borders in parenting for the next generation.
