INTRODUCTION:
As clearly stated in the NETISM Book, the family is the smallest unit of a nation; a platform whereby morals, ethics, and values are being injected into the citizens. If the family fails, the future of the nation might be at the brim of fall. This theory clearly shows us the crucial roles of parenting in the process of facilitating societal well-being. Nigeria and many other countries across the globe are currently experiencing different forms of moral decadence, societal irregularities, and many other national unrests that were instrumentalized through failed parenting.

THE DYNAMICS OF PARENTING:
Parenting has never been the way it used to be in the past era, in this cyber-era, it goes beyond feeding, sheltering, or clothing one's kids and wards; that is the theory of Digital Parenting.

As we all know, parenting has never been an easy task in the previous decades, the evolution of the digital world, most especially the internet and other digital gadgets (video games, radio, TV, Social media, and etc.) hereby render parenting a much more demanding task in this cyber age, hence, a need for dedicated nation-builders to strategize on how the kids would responsibility use the digital gadgets at their disposal for value added purposes rather than using them for pessimistic engagements.
"It is better to catch them young"; reason being that the resultant lifestyle of a citizen at his or her youthful phase of growth can be traceable to his or her childhood experiences, in this era, most especially what they are exposed to in the digital world, or how they use the digital gadgets at their disposal for various engagements.

Here's a brief information about the book as culled from its website.

Have a subsequent glance at the NETISM book cover, the kids of the digital era are characterized as robots in the reflection of humans. They are extraordinarily smart! Consequently, it takes a tech-savvy style of parenting to properly nurture them to survive in a dynamic digital landscape. As a nurturer, if by today you fail to prepare something for the future, whenever the time comes, it might prepare anything for you.

This tech-social development literature highlights the detailed roles of parents, teachers and other Nation Builders in mitigating the negative effects of digital exposures on kids' moral values. Alongside, it recommends how modern technology (especially, the internet and the popular media) could be maximized for their career advancement and personal development.
