Establish a timetable for using the Internet, and encourage substituting activities such as playing games, reading, or working out. A balanced way of living develops a comprehensive strategy for their total growth. Prioritising online safety Instill in your kids the value of protecting their personal data. Inform them that sensitive information such as their name, phone number, address, and passwords should not be disclosed to outsiders or hackers. Establish a safe online environment and keep an eye on their online activity by utilising parental controls and filters.For kids, the Internet may be a great resource. They can play interactive games, connect with teachers and other students, and conduct research for school reports.However, there are hazards associated with using the internet, such as offensive material, cyberbullying, and predatory websites. Predators may pretend to be youngsters or teenagers trying to find new friends by using social media applications and websites where children communicate. They could urge kids to call them so they can see their phone number on caller ID, or they might poke the child to disclose private information like address and phone number.It is important for parents to monitor what their children see, hear, and share about themselves on the internet, as well as who they encounter. Have a conversation with your children, watch over their actions, and use tools to protect them.Laws pertaining to Internet Safety The Children's internet Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a federal law, aids in the internet safety of children under the age of thirteen. It is intended to prevent anyone from obtaining a child's personal information without the parent's knowledge and consent.COPPA mandates that before collecting or using a child's personal information, including name, address, phone number, or Social Security number, websites must notify users of their privacy policies and obtain parental approval. Additionally, it is against the law for a website to request more personal information from a minor in order for them to participate in a contest or play a game.Tools for Online Protection With the use of online resources, you may limit your children's exposure to mature content and shield them from cyber predators. Parent-control choices are offered by numerous Internet service providers (ISPs). Software that assists in limiting website access and preventing the transmission of private information online is also available. Online behavior can be tracked and monitored by other programs.Engaging in Children's Online Activities Observing your children's Internet use and teaching them safe and responsible online behavior are more crucial than banning unpleasant content.Basic internet safety tips to impart to your children are as follows: Observe the guidelines established by the Internet service provider and your household. Never exchange or post personal images. Never divulge private information, such your address, phone number, or the name or location of your school. Save your passwords for your screen name only, and only share them with your parents. Never consent to meet up in person with someone you met online without your parents' permission or supervision. Never reply to a text, email, message, or post that seems menacing. Always report any contact or conversation that was frightening or harmful to your parents or another responsible adult.Fundamental rules for parental supervision: Teach your children responsible online conduct by spending time together on the internet. Instead of keeping the computer in each bedroom, keep it in a shared space where you can keep an eye on its usage. Observe how much time is spent on tablets and cellphones. For convenience, bookmark your children's favorite websites. Look for strange account charges on your phone and credit card bills. Find out if your child's school, after-school program, friends' houses, or any other location where kids could use a computer without your supervision offers any kind of internet protection. If your child tells you about an awkward conversation they had online, listen to them carefully.

The Next Decade in Indian Technology Begins Now

Even though National Startup Day is only in its second year, there is one obvious hint that the businesses it honors are beginning to recognize its increasing importance. Although there was a lot of enthusiasm for the first National Startup Day in 2022, it became louder the following year, and in 2024 it reached a crescendo.Additionally, press releases requesting "quotes" surrounding National Startup Day are circulating like crazy this time around; it looks like the startup PR machine has found its calling.However, there's also a sense that, at least in our opinion, the 2024 National Startup Day will be a turning point for Indian technology. This is as much an Inc42 day as it is a startup day, having witnessed this journey firsthand since the very beginning, even before Startup India entered the scene, and being at the center of it as a watchdog and voice of support.In 2014, when our course started, the term "startup" was unfamiliar and out of the ordinary. Ten years later, it's difficult to ignore or be unaffected by tech startups. As we commemorate our tenth anniversary this year, we can't help but feel a little serendipitous that our path somewhat parallels that of Indian companies.Ten Years Of Startups Coincidentally, the commencement of Startup India's tenth year coincides with its founding in 2015, which has significantly accelerated the tech and startup environment since then. The young of India's hopes of becoming entrepreneurs were sparked in numerous ways by Startup India.In fact, there aren't many economies that can match India's in terms of sheer size when it comes to laws and regulations designed specifically with entrepreneurs in mind. For instance, although other European nations have attempted to adopt it in the past, no other nation has a high-profile "National Startup Day" with festivities and award shows scheduled like India.In the last ten years, startups have developed to the point where they are now a common topic of conversation at dinner parties in millions of homes and have significantly altered India's social and economic landscape. Examples include the widespread use of UPI applications on street corners and the gig economy that these apps are driving. Furthermore, being identified as a company founder naturally raises expectations of wealth and glamour. Over the past ten years, startups have altered how Indians communicate, obtain services, and make purchases, spurring quicker economic growth and innovation. The Indian workforce's productivity has significantly grown because to the startup ecosystem, said Pai.But only through adversity has this maturity emerged. The last two years have arguably demonstrated to us what the difficult part entails: developing companies in an ethical, sustainable, and value-creating manner, rather than focusing solely on valuation.

The industry associations only publicly identify and shame defaulters on their website, which is essentially of no consequence. To shout that the advertisement was deceptive, they had to print and announce it in bold in the newspaper, he added.
