These days, many new parenting trends are emerging, one of which is Peacock Parenting. The name might sound a little strange, but once you understand its meaning, you might wonder if you're also engaging in this type of parenting.

What is Peacock Parenting?
Peacock Parenting means preparing children for the show and constantly displaying their achievements on social media or in society. Just as a peacock spreads its beautiful feathers to attract attention, some parents are constantly showcasing every little achievement of their children to others.

How to identify if you are practicing Peacock Parenting?
Posting every activity of your child on social media.
Buying clothes or things for children that are only for show.
Constantly highlighting your children's studies or talents to others.
Pressuring children to look or perform all the time.

Its impact on children
Unnecessary pressure – The child feels that they have to impress others all the time.
Loss of authenticity – The child may lose their true identity because they are only acting for show.
Mental stress – Constant comparison and performance pressure can make the child stressed.

What to do?
Accept your children for who they truly are.
Avoid showing off on social media.
Teach your children that success means improving themselves, not impressing others.

Give them love and encouragement for their big and small achievements at home, but don't feel the need to prove it to others.

Peacock Parenting promotes a culture of showing off, which can negatively impact children's mental health and self-confidence. Therefore, give your children love and support, but avoid the habit of proving their achievements to others.
