How to deal with children with regard to the digital world📱?

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.

Secondly, while they are growing up certain red lines have to be drawn by parents and teachers until the higher secondary school.

Thirdly, refinement of the vital and the awakening of the sense of the true and the beautiful so that they spontaneously discern and reject whatever is ugly.

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

Affectionately,

I think the new administration is dismantling the old structures and replacing them with new ones. Auroville International is perhaps being replaced by AIC. It is partly a change of name, partly to bring these Centres outside under the dispensation of the new management. What is more important however is the much awaited, …
