Moms face challenges in educating their kids

BOGOR: Mothers today are facing various kinds of pressures in educating their children, A Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) researcher says.

“The strongest external pressures, which are faced by these mothers in forming their children’s characters, are the changes in life and religious values, lifestyle, as well as ideology,” IPB human ecology faculty researcher Dwi Hastuti told The Jakarta Post on Monday during a discussion held in conjunction with Women’s Day.

For example, pressures coming from within the family included economic conditions and violent acts, she said. This violence did not necessarily involve family members only, but also neighbors, schools, and the mass media, Dwi said.

There are three things that should be improved in the relationship between a mother and her children: Increasing attention, shaping affection and intensifying communication, he said.

She said the government’s policies on family affairs should be focused on issues regarding raising children. “The law should support the government and the family in helping a mother’s efforts to educate her children,” she added.
