Constraints of digital parenting


  • Letters
  • Thursday, 30 Dec 2021

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, children's lives have become increasingly digital by default. They were pushed into remote education, where they spent nearly all their time online and learned about the world solely through digital screens. This inescapable shift in how children live their daily lives has sparked alarm about the type of society we will get in the near future.

Parents are arguably in the best position to raise children who are digitally resilient. Unfortunately, parents receive the least assistance or consultation when policies, plans, or projects affecting children's digital life are developed. Parents are now compelled to become digital parents by default. They are expected to be adept at guiding their children's Internet use while also delivering the most secure and conducive digital experiences possible.
