Academic Guidance & Technological Challenges

Dear Parents,

We are living in a digital era now. Technology grows in leaps and bounds just as Moso Bamboo shoots up at night. Modern technology has changed the environment in which our children grow up today. They are heavily influenced by what they see, hear and experience on T.V., Internet and Social Media.

Social networking and advanced communication technology badly affect them mentally and their orientation towards studies. Many Parents feel helpless, even frustrated when they realize that their children spend a lot of time on smart phones, tabs, laptops and much less time communicating with them.

At this juncture, wise people who are concerned about the trend of the society stop and wonder where the world is heading to and how to save it from the destruction of the humanity. Hence, Parents need to keep pace with the children by checking on what they watch, talk and do. They could make use of two important parenting tools - 'Mentoring and Monitoring'.

Mentoring involves becoming a guide, a role model, a guru. Children learn initially from what they observe in their parents. Monitoring, on the other hand, means verifying details. Parents need to spend quality time with them and guide them through the confusing maze of all sorts of information, virtual reality and alternate values. Then, you will have the satisfaction of watching your children grow to maturity capable of making intelligent and meaningful choices on their own.
