17 Apr
Summary
- Actor Pratik Gandhi advocates for parental engagement over restriction.
- He suggests 'context over control' for children's content consumption.
- Storytelling is highlighted as a powerful, non-preachy parenting tool.
Actor Pratik Gandhi recently shared practical advice on digital parenting, suggesting that parents should engage with their children's screen time rather than imposing outright restrictions. During a panel discussion hosted by Netflix in collaboration with Kidsstoppress, Gandhi proposed a "context over control" philosophy.
He elaborated on his approach, drawing from his own experiences as a father. Gandhi explained that by sitting with his daughter and providing context, he can better guide her understanding of the content she consumes. He also underscored the effectiveness of storytelling as a parenting technique that facilitates open conversations without sounding didactic.
The discussion, which included experts from Netflix and a child psychologist, aimed to equip families with mindful strategies for managing screen use. Gandhi's perspective contributes to the ongoing dialogue about fostering trust and dialogue in raising digitally aware children.
