Independent author and columnist Neha J Hiranandani's latest book, 'iParent: Embracing Parenting in the Digital Age' decodes the discussion beyond the cliché of ‘these kids and their phones.’


It is a witty reflection on parenting in a digital age, derived from extensive research, candid conversations, and personal reflections. With equal measures of humour and information, it gives parents the tools they need to connect with the younger generation. It guides them to cyber-safety without falling back on helicopter parenting.

The book isn't simply about comprehending the future, but also about how to tread the fine line between embracing technology and maintaining a healthy relationship with it. Although each family's digital experience is unique, there is no universal solution. 

In light of her own experience, Hiranandani skilfully guides parents with practical tips, engaging anecdotes, and lively discussions that will help them navigate this uncharted territory confidently and effectively. iParent is on the Nielsen chart at #6 best-selling title All-India this week. 

The author and columnist Neha J Hiranandani says, “Our children are practically mini hackers right from the crib in this age of digital wonderment. Their first bite was accompanied by a click and scrolling before they could even walk. Before taking their first bite, they were handed a device. It is, however, like living in a giant uncontrolled experiment, where cyberbullying, internet addiction, body dysmorphia, and other digital villains lurk beneath the surface. If there is no rulebook for the digital world, how can parents make sure their children are safe?"
