The author and columnist Neha J Hiranandani says, "Our children are practically mini hackers right from the crib in this age of digital wonderment. Their first bite was accompanied by a click and scrolling before they could even walk. Before taking their first bite, they were handed a device. It is, however, like living in a giant uncontrolled experiment, where cyberbullying, internet addiction, body dysmorphia, and other digital villains lurk beneath the surface. If there is no rulebook for the digital world, how can parents make sure their children are safe?"
