A TV in the Bedroom Is a Disaster!|Are We Stealing Our Children’s Time?Balakrishnan V IPS |NCORE×DDJ

🏡 WHAT KIND OF FUTURE ARE WE BUILDING FOR OUR CHILDREN? “A TV in the bedroom is a disaster.” In a thought-provoking address, Thiru Balakrishnan V IPS, Inspector General of Police, Central Zone, Tiruchirappalli, delivers a message that every parent, educator and policymaker needs to hear. ⏳ TIME IS OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE. YET, DIGITAL ADDICTION CAN STEAL IT BEFORE WE EVEN REALISE IT. Sir highlights how hours spent hooked on digital content can take away opportunities for meaningful learning, family conversations and personal growth. He reminds us that even the few minutes before sleep can become precious moments of connection, lost when screens take over our bedrooms. But his message goes far beyond television and screen time. 📱 Excessive digital engagement can expose children to risks such as cyberbullying, online grooming and social engineering. 🏡 Our homes must encourage connection, conversation and healthier digital habits. 🎯 Children need engaging, novel and action-oriented activities that inspire them to explore the world beyond screens. 🌍 Families, schools, communities and policymakers must work together to create environments where children can thrive. 🚀 WEEK 9 | BUILDING THE FUTURE NCORE FOUNDATION × DIGITAL DETOX JUNIOR As we conclude the nine-week Digital Detox Junior journey, Sir’s message brings us to a fundamental question: can we build a better future for our children without protecting their present? Digital Detox Junior (DDJ) is NCORE Foundation’s free, nine-week national programme for students of Classes 4–9, helping children develop healthier digital habits and rediscover meaningful experiences beyond screens. 💙 NCORE Foundation is India’s first human-centric Cyber Rehabilitation Enabler. 🙏 Our sincere gratitude to Thiru Balakrishnan V IPS for supporting this mission and reminding us that digital detox is not just an individual or parental responsibility. It is a shared responsibility. Because building the future begins at home, with the time we give our children, the conversations we share and the world we encourage them to discover. 📢 Watch, reflect and share. Together, let us reclaim real childhood and build a healthier digital future. #NCOREFoundation #DigitalDetoxJunior #BalakrishnanIPS #BuildingTheFuture #DigitalAddiction #DigitalWellbeing #CyberSafety #ChildOnlineSafety #CyberRehabilitation #ReclaimRealChildhood
