Sudha Nambudiri consistently emphasizes crucial issues. In our petition to the Chief Minister back in May, we addressed the potential challenges arising from the rapid introduction of online classes. We urged the government to prioritize mental health and empower parents, a cause we have long championed. The response we received acknowledged and promised to consider our suggestions. This, we hope, marks a positive beginning. With schools closed and children at home, it's time for parents to embrace the reality of homeschooling. The way forward involves facilitating your children to become self-learners while viewing schools as a support system rather than expecting them to take full control through remote screens. It's essential that your connection with your child is stronger than their internet connection. Seek help proactively before issues worsen. Depression, anxiety, aggression, isolation, and addictions are on the rise, and it is of utmost importance to be aware of these challenges.
