In this thought-provoking episode of ‘Married to India,' we look into the seismic shift in the mindset of our youth influenced heavily by social media. As parents of five, we see this significantly in our two daughters, especially aged 27 and 19; we've observed firsthand how digital platforms are molding their perceptions, values, and beliefs, all of which were instilled from a very young age only to warp their sense of truth and well being often clashing with the family ethos we've nurtured. We will discuss the importance of loss and disconnection many parents feel, the rising trend of estrangement in family relationships, and ponder over the critical question: Can we, as a society, salvage the sanctity of the parent-child bond amidst this digital wave? Join me as we explore solutions, share insights, and seek a path to understanding and connecting with our children in the social media age.
