Mums At The Table has published a new booklet aimed at providing parents with practical tips and information on raising children.
The booklet, The Screen Issue, is the first of a new series addressing tricky parenting dilemmas. Each booklet will feature a single topic and plans are to release a new booklet every six months.
“We decided to tackle the topic of screen time for our first issue because our research tells us it’s one of the major worries and struggles parents have,” says Melody Tan, project manager of Mums At The Table.
“The booklet is a mix of practical information and interactive content. Parents will not only learn how to effectively manage screen time, they can also utilise a checklist and a contract within the booklet as well.”
While Adventist parents will find the booklet content useful, Ms Tan says the booklet’s real use is for churches and church members to share them with the wider community.
“Some church members will remember the monthly Mums At The Table magazine from a few years ago. It was a very successful tool in sharing Adventist-influenced content with the community. Magazines were shared in doctors’ waiting rooms and used as giveaways at a variety of events. It helped introduce an Adventist ministry to parents in a very accessible and non-threatening way,” says Ms Tan.
“The hope is this booklet, and future ones produced, will have the same impact. We have deliberately kept the price point low—charging only the price to print and ship the magazines—to make that possible.”
Future topics include healthy lunchboxes, mental health care, sleep and literacy.
