Contracts to coupons, Indian parents try new ways to keep kids away from social media
==========

Desi parents in India are implementing various strategies to limit their children's use of social media and mobile phones. Manju Gupta created a contract for her husband and children, which included rules such as keeping mobiles 20 feet away from the dining table and leaving phones behind when going to the bathroom. Breaking these rules would result in a one-month ban on ordering food via Zomato or Swiggy. The contract went viral after being shared on social media. Other parents are using coupons as incentives for their children to reduce screen time. Some parents are also encouraging their children to engage in offline activities and hobbies to keep them away from social media. The article mentions that countries are considering bans on social media and mobile phone use by children.
