We may have spent many years in school, and through our personal experience we all know that going to high school is a completely different ball game v/s preschool or middle school.

Thanks to technology, children have access to a lot of electronic devices and tend to prefer spending time on the computer, tab or gaming cosole. This has increased anxiety among parents, towards the attachment that children are building towards technology from an early age.
