Abstract


Parents need to develop their cognitive and metacognitive skills such as lifelong learning skills, self-leadership, self-regulation, empathy as well as mindfulness and self-consciousness in order to sustain their parenting role as well as develop their personal and professional capabilities. More specifically, emerging technologies, such as mobiles and artificial intelligence have gained ground on enhancing responsible parenting, parents’ engagement with children’s learning procedures, parents’ wellness and active aging as well as parents’ cognitive and emotional balance in regard to their parenting role. Emerging technologies offer convenient, personalized and cost-effective training and assessment tools for parents with the final aim to create flexible and inclusive school communities.
