Today, many children in Singapore encounter technology before they even learn how to read. Tablets, smartphones, smart TVs, and online learning platforms are already part of their daily environment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While technology brings incredible opportunities for learning and creativity, it also introduces new responsibilities for parents and educators.
