Don't view the mobile phone or tablet as a shut-up toy while a parent is busy, highlights Dr Aarti Bakshi.

It is a mistake to believe that children are unaware when parental battles happen behind closed doors.

It's normal to want to protect children from the pain of making mistakes, but children need to make mistakes to grow, become resilient.

If parenting becomes a mission to control children, then it is a red flag, warns Dr Aarti Bakshi.
