Become a Smart Parent - Learn Cyber Parenting

Introduction about our Training program

Smart Cyber Parenting

The last 2 years have been quite an extraordinary period for all of us. We have been going through a sequence of events that we have not even thought of. Right from complete lockdown to work from home, from RTPCR to vaccination and what not! It was surely a challenging period for all of us.

Being a parent of 2 kids, it has been intriguing to see how kids are coping with these challenges. For them, it must be quite harder to get used to the new world.

There has been a complete paradigm shift in our parenting concepts and completely changed the whole perspective.

From no mobile/laptop to hours of online schooling. From “Go and play outside” to “not allowed to go outside”, this list goes on.

Out of these, the most striking change from my perspective is the forced exposure to the cyber world. The cyber or virtual world is no more a matter of choice now. With online classroom via zoom, teams, etc, online assignments, School, college WhatsApp groups, even online birthday celebrations.

While I am sure all of us are very diligently following all recommendations related to not only covid but the overall health of our kids, the question is are we providing required attention to mental, physical, and digital health recommendations related to this exposure to the cyber world?

During these unprecedented times, one should ask himself/herself: Are we aware of health issues? How does it impact our eyes? What kind of psychological issues a child could have? Is my child safe in this virtual world? What are the legal provisions? What kind of hygiene we should follow? How does it impact the child’s body overall and are there any simple techniques/routines we can follow?

The best way to find answers to all these questions is to seek help from experts from each area and this is exactly what we have aimed in this course. We have engaged experts in each area, pediatricians, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Yoga gurus, cyber law, and Cyber security. These experts will enlighten us with valuable insights into each area.

These all aspects are key pillars of what we call “Cyber Parenting”.

This training program is specially designed for all ages parents and grandparents. How you will gain from this course is very important.
