Alphas will be blessed in many ways, able to benefit from a world created by previous generations. But it’s a world also loaded with challenges. The psychological impact of digital lives - the pace, the relentless change, connectivity, the lack of face-to-face contact - is yet to be fully understood. Alphas may become battle-hardened - or they may be a time-bomb. Alongside the freewheeling flexibility and excitement of opportunities will come everyday awareness and closer attention to supporting mental well-being. And education, from primary level upwards, will play a crucial role in preparing people and societies as a whole to be adaptable, open to learning and re-learning, dealing with risk, resilience, and the importance of communities and social interactions in this context.

7. What is meant by Nurturing? Nurturing is the act of providing care, support, and encouragement to help someone or something grow, develop, and thrive. It involves creating a nurturing environment that promotes emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being of a child. Nurturing can be observed in various contexts, such as parenting, teaching, mentoring, or even in fostering relationships and connections. It encompasses fostering positive relationships, meeting basic needs, offering guidance, providing opportunities for learning and growth, and showing empathy and compassion.

8. Why nurturing Gen z & gen α lpha is difficult? Parenting and nurturing is never an easy job, and even more challenging as times and generations change. It can be difficult to determine what sustainable habits are appropriate for Generation Alpha and Generation Z. In recent years, parents of  Gen Z  and Gen Alpha realize the heightened importance of positive parenting. Children are like sponges, and they are constantly absorbing the world around them. It’s important that we as parents and teachers instill certain qualities in our children from an early age so that they can make informed decisions as adults.
