Parents need to help their children navigate the tremulous landscape of social media without getting lost in its dangerous twists and turns.
LATEST STORY - We live in a world dominated by screens, and the mantra for survival is consumption without overindulgence. However, striking the right balance may not be as easy as it seems, especially in the case of children. Here is where the role of parents becomes immensely important. Parents need to help their children navigate the tremulous landscape of social media without getting lost in its dangerous twists and turns.
"The internet, while a powerful tool for information and connectivity, has been implicated in contributing to anxiety among children. One prominent factor is the pervasive influence of social media. Kids are exposed to curated versions of others' lives, fostering unrealistic standards and a constant sense of comparison. Cyberbullying on these platforms further adds to the stress, creating an environment where online interactions can be a source of anxiety," shares Dr Munia Bhattacharya, Consultant Psychologist with Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurgaon.
