This blog is written for participation in the blogging contest by eKavach Parental Control App . I am writing about being a #eSuperMom or #eSuperDad! You can also submit your entry here and stand a chance to win Gold/Diamond jewelry and exciting shopping vouchers.

This is the umpteenth number of time, my conscience has pricked me to the fact that our lives have become so "Gadgety" , with me and hubby both mostly replying to office mails on our phones or tabs ( I am glad atleast the laptops are not being pulled out now) or just scrolling down our social media handles, even when our little munchkin is sitting huddled and cuddled to us spreading those priceless grins..And this may be the scenario in many of our homes....What example do we set and what exercise can we actually exercise on our kids internet activity when we ourselves could not control ours??

The other side of the coin is what are my kids doing on internet when we are away at work? Their innocent mind cannot filter the good and the bad of the cyber space and since they have seen their parents scrolling up and down their phones and tabs, they would in all probability imitate it on the first go....

It is very easy to criticize Technology and I have often seen parents cribbing for their child's overall growth being hampered with the advent of impressive technologies each day...but I vehemently disagree....It's because it's absolutely on us what example we set before our little peanuts....

Infact, I believe, technology is the best aid for the parents in today's tricky world where the challenges before our kids are many and varied...all said and done, we can't keep our kids away from the cyber world, as it has become an essential part of their overall growth today!

With this thought-process, some months back I sat self-introspecting and decided to bring in desired changes in my lifestyle to become a worthy #eSuperMom to my kiddos....While I gave them access to the whole new world of internet, to explore and grow....like any concerned momma, who is away at work whole day,along with it I had set in some basic rules and ensured the same are fulfilled under most circumstances....I decided to lead by example, while I exercised a check on my internet activity timings at home, by shifting it to a time at which my children went to sleep and to regulate and validate what my kids are doing in their cyber space when I am away, I installed the coveted "eKavach" App on my devices all inspired by their wonderful video below and on advice of my mommy buddies who has experienced this phenomenol App...

What is eKavach??

eKAVACH is undoubtedly India's most advanced "Digital Parenting App" for our kids to ensure online safety for our little munchkins as today's digital world is full of online threats such as internet & gaming addiction, cyber bullying, cyber stalking, pornography etc.

By simply installing it on your device and your kiddos, you can stay updated about all their internet moves and guide them when required..

This is thus a strong and potent etool which empowers working moms like me to become eKavach Supermoms

Features of eKavach:

This feature of eKavach is truly a blessing in disguise...Incase our child out of curiosity or a friend's provoke tries to open a site set as blocked by us, we instantaneously receive an alert for the same...not only that if we have limited web access, we receive an sms for the same...The idea is to lovingly communicate to our kid that why this site could have harmed his interests while having the evening chitchat..This will strengthen our bonding with our little buddies for whom this world is a big puzzle, they intend to solve as they grow up....

8. Helps us preserve Quality Family Time

 Here,I see twin purpose of my family suraksha-kavach, eKavach...One since I can control their internet screening times, while I give my little flowers independence to bloom, to choose their leisure cyber time during the day, to suit their innovative sensibilities and queries, once we are back from work, no more internet for all of us and it is together quality family times, with added doses of laughter and sharing <3
