Examine digital parenting as a need of the hour in an increasing digitised world.

Digital parenting refers to both teaching socialising child with digital media and parenting using digital avenues.

With globalisation & digitalisation, a child needs digital skills for formal employment. Even access to online education required digital literacy.

Parents are now moving in separate states or countries from children for occupational compulsions. This requires

increasing interaction via digital media.

However, apart from digital parenting, other bureaucratic structures of welfare state, schools etc are also building digital literacy in children.

This confirms Fletcher's theory of increased role of parents in modern world despite decreasing functions of family.
