Trivandrum: The Kerala Police said that we are delighted to introduce our speaker Mr. Nithin Lalachan, CC Member, Psychology Circle, and Elite Member-Kerala Police Cyberdome. The Topic is Decoding Digital Life – Challenges, Risks, and Opportunities and will be held on 31 July 2021, Saturday at 7:00 PM.
Today our children have a fantastic opportunity to learn, create and communicate through the use of technology. Almost every child uses a digital device connected to the internet. Parents all over the world are responding to the rapid pace of technological innovation. Our parents must be confident in their understanding of digital devices, apps, games, and their ability to help guide our children at every age to ensure a positive online experience. Parents are held responsible for teaching their children about values, social norms, and accepted behavior. They are also expected to enable their children to study, help in the family, keep healthy, cross the road, and make sound judgments about people, places, and information. Understanding digital parenting, especially the roles of mothers and fathers in protecting children, could help them better. Challenges, Risks, and Opportunities bring discussions on emerging risks, challenges and opportunities brought about by digital media for parents and children. For example, this rapid pace of technological innovation undermines parental competence; this is, in turn, undermining children’s willingness to turn to parents for support. The discussion briefs some suggestions to support parents from different contexts to empower their children online.
