Our guest Champ Alreja- a working father, successful entrepreneur & busy professional, shares his point of view on children’s online habits.

Champ believes that as parents it’s the basic responsibility to set good example for children both offline and very importantly online. We can lecture kids as much as we like but they primarily learn from behavior of parents. Imitation and curiosity are the only two ways that keep kids interested.

We agree if Champ that if we are glued to our tech devices all the time, we cant expect children to be engaged in any other activities. A very interesting example put forth by Champ is the fact that parents and kids can develop great habits together online. He watches tennis with his now 10-year-old son, since he was a toddler. And now both father and son play tennis regularly, have a passion for watching the Grand slams together and appreciating great players.

That sounds imply fantastic! There are few more interesting observations in this video. Please so watch and share your feedback with us.

Stay Aware, Stay Safe. Stay happy!

Jai Bharat, Jai Hind!

The post Children Imitate Parents Online! #AAH appeared first on Akancha Srivastava Foundation.

Trigger Warning- In an overwhelming majority of se*ual assaults against minors, the offender is known to the victim. Basically the child knows the perpetrator. It could be a relative, cousin, neighbour, teacher, family friend etc. Therefore the seeds of grooming are sown where there is trust with the child. How does this happen?  Why does the child not share the start of any misbehavior by an elder, with the parents?

Answer is because we cloud critical thinking of children with blanket statements like- ALL elders are Gods, don’t question relatives & teachers etc. When these very trusted elders breach a boundary, the child is confused cos they have been taught that these older people can do no wrong!  By the time this is noticed, it’s too late, sometimes even a life is lost.

Same goes with the concept of ‘strangers’. Children need to be categorically trained on who is family and who isnt. The fact that they should never accept gift or food from a stranger could save a life. Nobody they know even if immediate next door neighbor can pick them up from school unless a parent has specified, no teacher can touch them uncomfortably and most importantly- build a relationship of trust with your children so that they can confide in you should they feel threatened.
