Article: What Media Is Really Doing to Our Children
Media is no longer just entertainment. It is raising our children alongside us.
In this powerful episode of Balmurti Online, Lata Hirani explores the invisible damage media can do when left unchecked. A violent headline, a manipulative ad, a careless joke, a mobile used as a babysitter, an internet space with no guardrails, all of it slowly shapes a child’s mind, emotions, and sense of reality.
This episode is a wake-up call for parents. Not to panic. Not to reject technology entirely. But to become present, alert, and intentional. Because childhood is too precious to leave in the hands of algorithms and noise.
A must-listen for parents, teachers, and caregivers trying to protect attention, empathy, and innocence in a media-saturated world.
