Raising Digital Disciplined Children in the Digital Age

By Ruby Bose – Sunrise

We are living in an increasingly digital world, with technology integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives. This new reality presents both opportunities and challenges when it comes to raising children who are digital disciplined. On one hand digital tools can enhance learning and foster creativity. Virtual reality and augmented reality experiences may provide immersive learning opportunities and help preschoolers better understand complex concepts. Coding and programming tools may enhance a child’s computational thinking and problem-solving skills.

However excessive screen time and social media exposure also pose a risk to a child’s physical and mental well-being. In this article we will explore practical tips and insights on raising digitally-balanced children in the digital age.

In Kinderland, lots of research and thought goes into making the timetable for different classes. Considering that technology is an integral part of student’s life today and in years to come, they are exposed to technology but at the same time boundaries are set on limiting screen time. While students are learning about ‘Technology integrated Learning’, ‘Writing to Read’ and Coding to be better equip them in the coming years, Kinderland ensures that students have active play time in the form of outdoor and indoor play every day. Besides that, KinderFit ensures physical well-being of our students. Students are exposed to exploration-based activities in the learning corners in the classes which helps in their social interaction and develops peer learning. Through regular parental talks, we work very closely with the parents to ensure a holistic development in our young learners.

Arts and craft, pretend play and social interactions are all instrumental in raising balanced children who will use technology to their advantage rather than becoming a slave to technology.
