Balance Over Protection: Shield Kids Wisely

Childhood protection strategies require reevaluation as society has shifted the risks children face. In the past, predators were predominantly found in physical spaces, but now the primary threat exists online, particularly on social media platforms like Instagram. While there has been a notable decline in physical child predator incidents due to increased law enforcement and societal awareness, the focus has inadequately transitioned to the digital realm. Consequently, children are overprotected in physical environments while remaining vulnerable online, highlighting a critical gap in modern parenting approaches.
