With camera access just a fingertip away, it has made privacy breaches, voyeurism, and abuse, etc. easier than ever before. I know these are not usual conversations in most Indian homes, however what can you do to empower them and how should your child deal with it?
These conversations must happen at home as the frequency of such incidents are on the rise. In times such as these, you as a parent together with your grown-up child could develop a road-map to navigate such situations.
Transitioning from adolescence to adulthood is usually challenging, stressful and uncomfortable for young adults. They encounter complex problems in the real world when they enter college for the first time. Also, quite often, they live independently, and by this stage, most parents have minimal knowledge or control about what’s going on with their children or are privy to information in as much as they want you to know.
