Jamaican Families Rebuild Bonds | Jamaica News

A new national survey reveals a troubling decline in parent-child connection in Jamaica, with only 26% of students feeling truly understood by their parents—down from 31% in 2017. The National Parenting Support Commission confirms this trend, noting overwhelmed parents struggle to bridge daily gaps with kids. The data shows fewer teens feel their parents know what they’re up to or offer meaningful guidance, and less quality time is being spent together. In response, the NPSC is ramping up efforts with community partners, focusing on practical tools for tough conversations, boundary-setting, and spotting emotional withdrawal—aiming to rebuild strong, supportive family bonds that help kids thrive.
