Parents and teachers asked to pay attention to whether children behaved differently than usual and were primarily involved in online activities, suddenly spending more time online, especially on social media, and after using the Internet.Â
The Governing Council of Rajasthan recommended that parents establish an “Internet portal” at home to help effectively monitor their children’s Internet use.
The document also suggested ensuring the child has access to the Internet from a computer in the family area.
Actions in China

The National Press and Publications Administration found on August 30 that people under the age of 18 cannot play video games online during the school week and can only play one hour per day on Fridays, weekends and holidays.
Recommendations
One of the keys to checking whether your behaviour is healthy is to look for “unusually low-key” demeanour-
- a drastic increase in phone numbers and email contacts
- a sudden change of screens on your device when approaching
- keep an eye on falling grades and social behaviour
- Help children understand that some features get designed to increase playtime, spend money, and talk about gambling.
