Ukubeletha ngokuqinisekileyo kuye kwatshintsha kakhulu kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo. Kwaye ngelixa sihlala sithetha ngendlela abantwana basebenzisa iteknoloji, inyaniso kukuba, abaninzi abazali bafaka iteknoloji kwizicwangciso zabo zabazali.
Ukuze ufumane ingqiqo ngakumbi kubazali banamhlanje benza izinto ngokungafaniyo, ndixoxwe noRyan Jenkins, isithethi esivela kwi-Millennial keynote, kunye nomlobi.
Unamava anceda iinkokeli zikhula kwiindawo zemarike yanamhlanje, kwaye uyaqonda indlela abazali baseMillennial basebenza ngayo.
U-Amy Morin: Kuba abantu abangaqhelanga nekota, uluphi udidi lobudala obhekisela kulo xa uchaza iMillennials?
URyan Jenkins: Ii-Millennials zizalelwa phakathi ko-1980-1999. Eyaziwa nangokuthi "isizukulwana Y," ziyizona zizukulwana ezikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni kwaye izigidi ezingama-80 ziqinileyo e-US kuphela. Ngo-2025, baya kwenza i-75% yabasebenzi. Yintoni eyenza ukuba baphume kwizizukulwana zangaphambili zikhulelweyo zabo eziphezulu kunye ne-hyper-connected. I-teknoloji kunye ne-intanethi baye bajonga ngendlela abacinga ngayo, ukuthetha, umsebenzi, ukulungisa ingxaki, ukuthenga kunye nomzali.
UMorin: Ziziphi iimpawu eziphambili ezenza abazali beMillennial baphumelele?
I-Jenkins: Ii-Millennials zenza uninzi lwamama omtsha, kunye nama-83% omama amatsha abe yiMillennials. Ngokutsho kweBanga lokuThengisa, ama-40% e-Millennials sele sele ebazali kwaye kwiminyaka eyi-10-15 ezayo, i-80% yabo iya kuba ngabazali.
Baza kuzama ukulinganisa umsebenzi kunye nokusebenza - i-61% yeMamennial moms isebenza. Baya kuhlala benolwazi njengabazali - i-50% yabazali be-Millennial bathi bazama ukuthenga iimveliso ezixhasa izizathu okanye izibonelelo. Kwaye ezininzi zeMillennials, ukuba "ngumzali omhle" zizinto eziphambili kwizinto zokuphila.
UMorin: Abazali be-Millennial baya kuba njani na?
Jenkins: Ngenye igama, iteknoloji. Ngokungafani nabazali babo, i-86% yeeMillennials izama ukuza-okanye izakuzama ukugwema ukuba "ngumzali we-helicopter" ngo-Ypulse. Njengoko iMilennials iqhubeka ifuna ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wayo kunye / okanye ukuqala ishishini, baya kubuchwepheshe ukubetha ibhalansi efunekayo njengabazali abatsha. Iinkqubo zanamuhla zisebenza njengetekethi yamehlo yokulandelela abantwana babo yonke into ehamba ngayo, imizwa kunye nentliziyo.
Esikhundleni sokuba ngabazali be-helicopter, ndiyakholwa ukuba iMillennials iya kuba ngabazali be-drone. Isizukulwana Z, isizukulwana esincinane kunazo zonke kunye nenzala ye-Millennials, ikhuphula i-tech-ilawulwa kuyo yonke into yokuphila yobomi bayo kunye nabagadi bezilwanyana ezingenazintambo, iimfesane zentsana, iinkqubo zokubeletha, ii-home cameras, kunye nabafowuni beefowuni. Kwiimeko ezininzi, i-Millennials iya kuqokelela idatha, ilungiselele, kwaye ilandele abantwana babo ukusuka kude isebenzisa ifowuni yeselula.
UMorin: Unjani iMilennials ukuqeqesha abantwana babo?
I-Jenkins: I- Millennials iya kuthinteka kakhulu ngabaontanga babo xa kuziwa kuqeqesho. Uninzi lweeMillennials luya kusebenzisa iifowuni zaso ukuqeqesha nge-fly-by-use-apps ngokusebenzisa okanye ukucinga iiblogi zokubeletha ngokufanelekileyo kwimeko ethile.
Ukuyalela i-cyberbullying kunye / okanye i-ID edijithali yesizukulwana esakhulayo iya kukhula kwaye i-Millennials ithemba ukuba iya kuxhotyiswa bhetele kunezinye izizukulwana ukuze ihambe kwaye iqeqeshe ngokudibanisa.
Ndilindele ukuba ii-Millennials ziza kusebenzisa iteknoloji ukunciphisa inkululeko yabantwana babo njengendlela yokuqeqesha. Umzekelo, umzali oneminyaka eyi-Millennial angaqala ukulandelela ngqo umntwana wakhe, okanye ukunciphisa apho ahamba khona ngokubeka i-geofence, okanye ukujonga umsebenzi wabo we-intanethi, okanye (tshintsha) utshintshe iphasiwedi ye-wifi ekhaya.
I-Morin: Zingenzeka njani ukuba iMillennials isebenzise iteknoloji ukujongana, ukubeka iliso okanye ukuqeqesha abantwana babo?
I-Jenkins: Akungabazeki ukuba abazali be-Millennial baya kuphucula i-teknoloji, ngokukodwa izixhobo eziphathekayo, ukuya kwinqanaba-uphuhliso lwabazali.
Enyanisweni, iikota ezintathu ze-Millennial moms zixela ukucinga iingcebiso zabazali kwi-device yabo yeselula.
Xa kuziwa ekusebenziseni iteknoloji ukujongana, ukubeka iliso kunye nokuqeqesha abantwana babo, iMillennials isenokusebenzisa ezinye zezi zinto zilandelayo:
- Ukungabikho nto ngakumbi iprogram evumela abazali ukuba bavale yonke into kodwa oonxibelelwano oluvunyelwe ngabazali kwifowuni yabo yabantwana. Ukufumana ukuvula ikhowudi yepasekhodi, umntwana kufuneka abize ikhaya.
- Ukuhluma kukuqala ukuguqulwa kwintsana. Ukuhluma kuvumela abazali ukuba balinganise zonke izenzo zabo zentsana baze balandele ulwazi kwi-app yeselula ebonisa idatha njengezinga lentliziyo, indawo yokulala, izilumkiso xa umntwana esele avuke, kwaye uqikelele indlela abaya kuba ngayo. Kwakhona ukulandelela ukukhanya, ingxolo, kunye nokushisa kuma-nursery.
- I-Mimo i-onesie ifakwe i-chip ehlola ii-vitals kunye nokuhamba.
- I-Owlet iyi-smart sock ethumela iimpawu ezibalulekileyo kwi-smartphone yakho.
- I-Toyota ka-2015 uSienna iza ne "Driver Easy Speak" yinkqubo ephakamisa amazwi abazali abaqhubelayo kwi-backseat ukuze "bayayiva ngenxa yezingane zabo".
- Iikhamera ze-Smart ekhaya ezivumela abazali ukuba bajonge ividiyo ebude kude ukuqinisekisa ukuba abantwana basekhaya bekhuselekile kwaye baqale umsebenzi wabo wesikolo.
UMorin: Kukho izilumkiso ezininzi malunga nokubaluleka kokunciphisa ixesha leskrini kwiintsana. Ngaba abazali baseMillennial banokuba baxhalabele okanye ngaba banako ukugxininisa ekufuneni abantwana babo ukuba babe ne-technology savvy?
Jenkins: Ndiyakholwa iMillennials ibona njengengxalaba ekhulayo kodwa ekugqibeleni iya kubakhuthaza abantwana babo ukusebenzisa iteknoloji. Ndicinga ukuba kubalulekile ukuba i-Millennials incede abantwana babo babukele iteknoloji njengesixhobo sokwenza kakuhle kwaye kungekhona nje ukuphunyuka. Ngokutsho kweMidiya yeeNdawo eziNinzi, i-38% yabantwana abangaphantsi kwe-2 baye basebenzisa idivayisi ephathekayo yokudlala imidlalo, ukubukela iividiyo okanye ezinye iinjongo ezinxulumene neendaba.
Imikhwa ye-Millennial ye-tech iyingozi. Baye badwebe nge-imeyile, banomlutha ku-Snapchat, okanye bavumela i-Facebook ukuba ibambe ingqalelo yabo. Kodwa ukungahoywa kwabo ngokucacileyo ekumiseni ukulinganisela kunye ne tekhnoloji akusona isizathu sokuphika isizukulwana esikhulayo sezixhobo eziza kusebenzisana nehlabathi. Ndiyakholelwa ukukhanyela ulutsha "lwexesha leskrini," kuya kubangela ukuba baqaphele ubuchwephesha baze bathathe kakubi.
Andicingi ukuba kubalulekile ukuba abantwana baseMillennial bafana njani xa bazisa ezobuchwephesha kodwa kunokuba yintoni echaphazelekayo ukuba bafumana njani njengomzali ekukhokela ukusetyenziswa kwayo. Ngenxa yokuba bangabantu bezedijithali, i-Millennials ixhotyiswe bhetele ukubeka iliso kunye nefuthe ekusebenziseni iteknoloji yabantwana. Kodwa i-Millennials kufuneka iphinde isebenze ngokutya okunempilo kokuxhatshazwa kunye nokuziphatha okuxhatshaziweyo ukuba isebenze njengomzekelo wabo wokufundisa abantwana ngendlela engcono yokuphakamisa iteknoloji ukuze icebise ubomi ngelixa isele isele.
UMorin: Ziziphi iingcebiso zakho kubazali baseMillennial?
I-Jenkins: Yinyamekela kwi-teknoloji kodwa qaphela ukuxhomekeka kweteknoloji ekugqibeleni inokutshatyalalisa imizulwana yakho yokuzalwa. Qaphela ukuba iteknoloji ithatha indawo yesimo sakho somntu, ukuthintela ngothando, kunye nobukho boqobo obuxhasa. Ekugqibeleni, isiluleko sam somzali esithandayo sasivela kwigunya lobunkokeli behlabathi, uJohn C. Maxwell, owathi, "Kukho izinto ezintathu kuphela omele uyenze njengomzali: bathande abantwana bakho ngokungenanto, ubavelele kubantu abangaqhelekanga nakwiindawo, kwaye uncede ukufumanisa nokuphandle amandla abo.
