Computers, tablets, mobiles, and soon – wearable devices; technology follows us wherever we go. How can our children be left behind?
Kids love using the Internet and smartphones, whether it is to watch fun videos, help in school assignments or chat with a grandparent in another city. Yet, as they grow increasingly tech-savvy, there are also attendant dangers such as predators that lurk online, cyber-bullying and age inappropriate content.
This campaign supported by eKavach, India’s first digital parenting application, is all about sharing your digi-parenting story – how you handle the presence of technology in your child’s life and what you feel about it.
Include a note mentioning that this post is being written as part of the Women’s Web – eKavach ‘This Digi-Parenting Life!’ campaign with a link to the eKavach website

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
