Dr Amita Shrungi, a family and child counsellor and psychologist based in Jaipur, has issued parenting advice regarding teaching children digital safety and protecting them from online risks.

This guidance is aimed at eight-year-old children and their 36-year-old parents.

Digital safety tools and settings

Digital safety tools include parental controls, safe search, YouTube Kids and screen time settings.

The use of these tools helps children recognise online risks and keep their personal information secure.

However, no fixed age has been specified for learning internet safety rules, as this depends entirely on the mental development of the child.
