How to deal with children with regard to the digital world๐Ÿ“ฑ?

The way forward is to educate them early even as a child. Children need to understand the right use as well as disadvantages of the digital world just as they have to be taught the right use of fire or of knife.

Finally, the parents and teachers must set an example themselves with regard to the children and younger generation.

Affectionately,
