00:00Actress Shilpa Shetty recently took to her official social media handle to speak about
00:15the importance of raising digitally aware children rather than digitally addicted once
00:20on the occasion of safer internet day.
00:24Taking to Instagram, Shilpa shared a video in which she spoke about digital awareness
00:29for children.
00:30As a concerned mother of two, she stressed that the internet is a powerful tool shaping
00:36young minds and called for mindful, responsible use of digital platforms to prevent dependency.
00:43Today is safer internet day and I wanted to speak from my heart for a minute.
00:50Couldn't be a better day to broach this topic and not as a public figure but as a concerned
00:56mother, the internet is a powerful teacher, a playground for creativity.
01:04So, with the pros comes the cons and as parents, our role isn't to just simply ban technology,
01:12it's to balance the access and exposure to it.
01:16So, how do we do this?
01:18Know what your child is watching, scrolling, consuming.
01:23Let's stop parenting in isolation and let's work towards raising digitally aware and not
01:29digitally addicted children.
01:31In the caption, Shilpa wrote, let's raise digitally aware children, not digitally addicted children.
01:46Let's have an open and honest conversation about this.
01:50On the work front, Shilpa Shetty is awaiting the release of her upcoming film, KD the Devil.
