The Broken Childhood: How Smartphones, Influencers & Hidden Digital Forces Are Rewiring Our Kids-and What Parents Must Do Now

By Siddharth Pandey

Childhood is breaking-quietly, silently, and in ways we never expected.
In a world of glowing screens, academic pressure, constant comparison, and emotional disconnection, today's children are struggling with challenges previous generations never had to face. The Broken Childhood uncovers the hidden forces reshaping how kids think, feel, behave, and grow.

Drawing on real stories, modern research, and powerful insights, this book reveals how digital overload, social media pressure, lost free play, rising anxiety, overprotective parenting, and societal expectations are changing the very fabric of childhood. It sheds light on issues we often notice but rarely understand-loneliness, poor resilience, emotional dysregulation, addiction-like behaviors, and the silent battles children fight behind closed doors.

But this is not just a book about what's going wrong.
It is a guide to how we can fix it.

The Broken Childhood helps parents, educators, and caregivers:
✔ Understand the psychological and developmental impact of technology
✔ Identify the warning signs of stress, anxiety, and emotional overload
✔ Strengthen real-world social skills, resilience, and confidence
✔ Rebuild connection and communication in the family
✔ Create a healthier balance between the digital world and real life
✔ Raise children who feel seen, supported, and emotionally secure

Written with empathy and clarity, this book is both an eye-opening wake-up call and a hopeful roadmap toward a better future for our children. If you're worried about the world kids are growing up in-or feel something is "off" but can't explain it-this book will give you the understanding, tools, and direction you need.

A must-read for every parent, teacher, counselor, or anyone who cares about the next generation.
