How To Reduce Screen Time In Kids - A Practical Method Webinar

By Madhurie Singh, June 22, 2025

Helping Parents Thrive in the Tech Era… Highlights from New Webinar Series Part1

In an age of rapid technological change, many parents are struggling to navigate new challenges — from screen addiction to shifting educational pressures — while preparing their children for an uncertain future. Recognizing this need, Madhurie Singh, experienced parent, blogger, and parenting coach, recently launched a new weekly webinar series designed to support parents through these times. Here’s a recap of the first session and what’s coming next.

Why This Webinar Series?

Madhurie, who has been advising parents since 2006 through her popular blog and workshops, introduced the series with one clear goal: to help parents raise strong, resilient, and future-ready children. Drawing on her two years of deep exploration into AI and large language models (LLMs), Madhurie emphasized that today’s parenting must evolve to match a fast-changing world.

She candidly shared how even she paused her blogging work to stay current with new technologies — and now feels it’s critical to empower fellow parents with both ancient wisdom and modern tools.

Key Parenting Topics Discussed

Screen Addiction & Behavior
One of the biggest concerns raised was children’s increasing dependence on screens. Madhurie explained that fighting screen addiction isn’t about harsh punishments or banning devices. Instead, she offered a 4-week structured method, rooted in Indian cultural wisdom, to gently retrain both parent and child habits.

She reminded parents that extreme actions like switching off modems won’t solve the problem — consistency and collaboration are key. As Madhurie puts it: “We need to shift children from passive content consumption to active, creative engagement.”

Academic Pressure & Behavioral Changes
Parents shared challenges around academic stress and behavioral shifts, especially among teenagers. Madhurie addressed this, noting that recent “no-fail” education policies have led to reduced resilience in many students. Her advice: build stronger study habits and life skills rather than focusing solely on grades.

Preparing for the AI-driven Future

A major theme of the session was the impact of AI on future job markets. Madhurie cautioned that many routine and “brain-only” jobs will likely be automated, from basic data analysis to transcription. However, creativity, entrepreneurship, and emotional intelligence will remain vital.

She encouraged parents to guide their children toward:

Entrepreneurship and startup

2. Automation and AI-related skills

3. Creative fields like content creation, entertainment and many other fields to be shared in future via the group

4. Essential life skills such as cooking, agriculture and many others to be discussed in the Trusted Parents Shabari Circle

As she observed, by 2030, education itself will look very different — and those prepared will thrive.

Reconnecting with Traditional Skills

Madhurie also emphasized the timeless value of Indian cultural heritage, urging parents to promote cooking, farming, and other traditional skills at home. As AI increasingly automates language learning and translation, she stressed the importance of mastering one’s mother tongue, while also exploring India’s rich pre-colonial technological history.
