Parenting practices have experienced profound shifts as societal structures and traditional institutions evolve. In the past, extended family networks, religious organizations, and community systems played pivotal roles in offering support and stability to families. However, the forces of urbanization, digitalization, and changing cultural norms have weakened these traditional support systems, leaving parents with increased responsibilities that were once shared within a community. These changes have significant implications for family mental health, contributing to heightened parental stress, strained relationships, and developmental challenges for children. This study examines the dynamic relationship between modern parenting practices and the changing roles of traditional social institutions. Utilizing both qualitative and quantitative research, it identifies the obstacles parents face as they navigate the absence of traditional communal support. Additionally, it explores how digital tools, while facilitating access to information and connectivity, can disrupt interpersonal family relationships. The paper provides actionable recommendations, including the integration of mental health education into school curricula, revitalizing community engagement, and fostering the responsible use of technology. It concludes by emphasizing the collective responsibility of policymakers, educators, and communities to address these emerging challenges, ensuring the mental and social well-being of contemporary families. This research lays the groundwork for understanding and addressing the critical intersection of parenting, traditional institutions, and family health in a rapidly transforming societal landscape.
