Indian Parents for Story on Under-16 Social Media Restrictions

Seeking Parents’ voices on Social Media access for under-16s for a story Hi everyone, I am reporting on the global wave of social-media age restrictions – from Australia’s under-16 ban to Malaysia’s upcoming rollout and what an India-context conversation could look like. I want to understand what Indian parents are actually seeing, fearing, or struggling with when it comes to their children’s social-media use. I am looking to speak with parents of kids aged 10–16 about: - when they allowed their child to get on social media - what their biggest concerns are: safety, mental health, online behaviour, screen addiction - whether age-verification or under-16 restrictions would help or hinder how they negotiate boundaries at home - what a realistic regulatory model for India should look like If you are a parent open to sharing your experience, please comment or DM me. #socialmedia #digitalparenting #socialmediasafety #onlinesafety #childsafety #IndiaTech #TechPolicy #SafeInternetIndia #journorequest

Co-Parents in India Needed for The Indian Express Feature

Hi! For The Indian Express, I’m currently working on a feature about co-parenting, an approach adopted by divorced or separated parents who are sharing responsibilities for their children’s well-being. The piece will explore how co-parents in India are learning to coordinate schedules, communicate effectively, and maintain emotional stability for their children while managing personal differences. As part of this story, I want to include firsthand perspectives from parents who are navigating co-parenting -- your experiences, challenges, and what has (or hasn’t) worked for you. I’ll also be speaking with mental health experts and child psychologists to understand how co-parenting impacts emotional health, family routines, and the overall development of children. If you or someone you know would be open to sharing insights or experiences, please feel free to DM me or comment below. #journorequest

Army Brats with Multiple International Relocations Before 18

How "international" can an Army brat's life get (esp before 18)? Small research question for a story I'm working on... Can anyone with personal experience (either being an Army brat or parenting one) say if it's possible for a kid to move between three or four or more countries, just following their parent's postings? Just for example, trooping to Japan one year, Europe the next, the Mideast after that? Would this be a sign of a parent with high ambitions for their own career (especially an officer)?

Younger Adult Cancer Patient Stories for The New York Times Feature

We want to hear your stories of living with cancer as a younger adult. Cancer appears to be on the rise among people in their 20s, 30s and 40s, especially women. These are ages when people are building careers, finding partners, raising children and taking care of aging parents. Nobody expects cancer to hit — and if it does, it can be a lonely and scary experience. As a health reporter at The New York Times, I’ve been writing this year about shifts in cancer trends over time and what may be driving rising rates in younger people, as well as how improvements in treatment are turning some cancers into chronic diseases rather than death sentences. I want to hear from patients about what it’s like to receive a cancer diagnosis as a younger adult, and how it affects all facets of life. Has your cancer diagnosis changed the way you think about yourself, or forced you to make tough life decisions?*Please explain and provide examples. What concerns about living with cancer stand out the most to you? These may include concerns about the risk of future cancers, fertility, sexuality, changes to appearance, feeling alone, career disruption, parenting, financial challenges or other. What cancer (type and stage) were you diagnosed with? How old were you when you were diagnosed?

I deeply respect people who are parenting children with autism and realize this is a very sensitive subject. I intend to report all the facts. This is not a medical story, but more-so a story about culture.

Gen X Women Case Studies-Paying for Preventative Health-Flow Space

Would you speak to a journalist about what it costs now to age in good health? Hello, hope all of you are having a lovely week so far. Posting with permission from the mods: I'm Helen Carefoot, a journalist at Flow Space, She Media’s publication all about the health and wellbeing of women 35-60. I’m working on a story that digs into how much money Gen X women are paying to seek preventative care now that can contribute to better health down the road. Gen X women face an interesting paradox: American women can now expect to live nearly six years longer on average than their male counterparts, yet data also shows they’re more likely to spend more years of their lives in poor health.  More innovations are available than ever before to increase health span like GLP1-s for metabolism, joint replacements that promise mobility into the later years, menopause care and screening tests to give people a jump on identifying future issues. Gen X women have really been at the forefront of advocating for things that can help them stay well, too. But data shows that even women who make good money and have good insurance pay a lot for this care. Additionally, the "sandwich generation" must contend with a unique set of factors that impacts their finances and ability to pay for all this like the gender pay gap, motherhood/menopause gaps, plus existing racial and class inequities and caregiving and parenting costs that all put women at an economic disadvantage. Here’s where you (hopefully) come in: I’d like to speak with you about your experience trying to access this care and how much you spend now to increase your health span. Have you had to make sacrifices in your budget somewhere or changed jobs, doctors or insurance companies to get care now that can contribute to better health in the future? Have you been denied insurance coverage for GLP-1s to treat metabolic issues and sought them at a compounding pharmacy? Have you had a joint replacement that cost thousands of dollars even after insurance? Have you moved money around to afford HRT or other menopause care, or went to a telehealth or cash pay clinic because insurance wouldn't cover the formulation you wanted? Have you sought out testing panels and screenings like InBody scans or VO2 Max tests and had to pay out of pocket? If so, I’d like to briefly speak with you sometime today or this or weekend about how much money you pay to stay well. If so, please send me a DM so we can connect or shoot me an email at: [email redacted] It would involve a brief phone or Zoom conversation where we’ll chat through your experience and will require a name, age and general location as identifiers. Thank you so much for letting me pop into this forum to ask and hope to hear from you!

Cinema-Goers & Parents Needed – Sex Ed & FAFO Parenting – Indian Express

Attention cinema-goers and parents. I am working on two articles for The Indian Express and would love to hear from you. *Please note*: For these stories, I am not looking for inputs from mental health professionals or psychologists (PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ASKING THE SAME). I will get in touch with those who responded to my previous story requirements. 1. Cinema as the first sex educator Based on a recent conversation with Konkona Sensharma, Abhay Deol and Dibakar Banerjee, I am exploring how Indian cinema has shaped the way regular people view sex. For many, the first exposure to the idea of sex wasn’t through parents or schools, but through films. I’d like to understand: -How has Hindi cinema influenced your perceptions of sex, intimacy, consent, and pleasure? -What is the gap between onscreen portrayals and real-life experiences? I’m looking to speak with intimacy coordinators, cinema-goers, and filmmakers. (I would also like to do a short video interview with an intimacy coordinator for our reels) 2. The rise of ‘FAFO parenting’ (F— Around and Find Out) This piece unpacks what the concept means, why some Indian parents are moving away from gentle parenting towards stricter, more consequence-based approach, and the impact it has on children. I’d love to hear from Indian parents and parenting experts on: -Why you feel this approach works (or doesn’t) -How you balance empathy with accountability If you’d like to contribute, please drop me a DM or leave a comment clearly mentioning which story you’re reaching out for.
