Technology is not the enemy. It has the power to educate, connect, inspire creativity, and open opportunities that were unimaginable a generation ago, says the writer.
ANYONE raising school-going children today is part of the first generation of parents preparing them for a future that no one can accurately predict.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), social media, online learning, digital careers, virtual communities, and rapidly evolving technology have changed childhood in ways previous generations never experienced and will never be able to fathom. The rules many parents grew up with no longer fit the realities their children face.
Technology is not the enemy. It has the power to educate, connect, inspire creativity, and open opportunities that were unimaginable a generation ago. The real challenge lies not in the existence of technology itself, but in how families learn to navigate it together.
The late abolitionist Frederick Douglass once observed: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."
