Parenting Gen Z & Alpha | Islamic Parenting Tips | Muhammad Ahmad Zafar | Olives School

Generation Z (or Gen Z) is the demographic cohort succeeding Millennials and preceding Generation Alpha. Researchers and popular media use the mid to late 1990s as starting birth years and the early 2010s as ending birth years. Most members of Generation Z are children of Generation X.

As the first social generation to have grown up with access to the Internet and portable digital technology from a young age, members of Generation Z, even if not necessarily digitally literate, have been dubbed "digital natives." Moreover, the negative effects of screen time are most pronounced in adolescents compared to younger children. Compared to previous generations, members of Generation Z from some developed nations tend to be well-behaved, abstemious, and risk-averse.

Generation Alpha (or Gen Alpha) is the demographic cohort succeeding Generation Z. Researchers and popular media use the early to mid 2010s as starting birth years and the mid 2020s as ending birth years. Named after the first letter in the Greek alphabet, Generation Alpha is the first to be born entirely in the 21st century. Most members of Generation Alpha are the children of Millennials and younger Generation X.

A new social media platform looks to create a new, accepting community and outlet for Generation Z and millennial Muslims to help them amplify their faith, share their views and enhance their lifestyles. Launching in early 2019, the platform is called “Muslim” and recently premiered a new, interconnected media publication.
