How safe is your child on the internet?

The 21st century, called the ‘Information Age’, is backed by various astonishing scientific discoveries, with ‘The Internet’ standing out as the most transformative. From the moment our day begins to when we go off to sleep, our daily activities function within this very intricate web of technology—the Internet, redefining how we connect, work, and learn.

For children (individuals under the age of eighteen, as per the law of Nepal), this profound integration of the Internet, especially in their formative years, results in far-reaching implications for their cognitive and social development. Here, while the Internet features numerous advantages and opportunities for a child’s growth, it simultaneously exposes them to crucial risks, ultimately raising concerns regarding their ‘online safety’, particularly in the emerging digital landscape of Nepal.
