00:01Your child looks into your eyes innocently and says, Dad, Mom, I'm the only one in my class without a
00:13smartphone, without an Instagram account and without WhatsApp.
00:19I'm feeling really left out, sad, miserable. And you know what? Kids in my class call me a baby. And
00:32then your heart melts in pain and in shame. And you hand over a brand new or a used smartphone
00:42to your child.
00:43But what happens next is very concerning. Your child is exposed to all kinds of content. Content that is not
00:55meant for them. Content that is very, very toxic. Content that is highly addictive. Content that makes them feel depressed
01:08and suicidal.
01:10If left unchecked, this content can miswire your child's brain, ruin their physical and mental health. That's why it's very,
01:23very important to monitor your child's smartphone usage from the very beginning and set firm rules and boundaries.
