A Heart-to-Heart: Protecting Our Children in the Digital Age
A Heart-to-Heart:Protecting Our Children in the Digital Age
*Dear Parents,*
In today’s fast-moving digital world, mobile phones have become an inseparable part of our lives. While they offer convenience and learning opportunities, we are gently concerned about how excessive and unmonitored screen time is beginning to affect our children.
At school, we are noticing changes—reduced concentration, disturbed sleep patterns, increased irritability, and emotional fatigue. Many students openly share that late-night mobile use leaves them feeling anxious, tired, and overwhelmed the next day. These are small signs, but together they point to a growing challenge we must address with care and understanding.
As educators, it is our moral responsibility to bring this to your attention. However, meaningful change can happen only when school and home walk hand in hand.
We sincerely request your support in:
* Keeping a gentle but regular check on your ward’s mobile usage
* Limiting screen time during study hours and especially after bedtime
* Being mindful of the content children are exposed to
* Encouraging healthier alternatives like reading, outdoor play, hobbies, and family conversations
These simple yet thoughtful steps at home go a long way in nurturing your child’s mental well-being, discipline, academic focus, and emotional balance.
Together, we can help our children grow into confident, healthy, and responsible individuals—free from unnecessary digital stress and dependency.
Let us work as partners in shaping a focused, balanced, and joyful environment for our children.
*With sincere regards,*
Manisha Aggarwal
