"When Childhood Became a Scroll"There was a time not so long ago when children would run after a ball, hide behind trees, build cardboard houses, and believe monsters lived under the bed. They were afraid of the dark, not of comments. They cried over scraped knees, not over not having enough likes. Their world was small, but vast in imagination.Today, that time seems to be fading away.We are living through a quiet but profound transformation. In less than a decade, screens have stopped being tools and have become environments. It's not just that children use social media-it's that they are growing up inside it. They learn to speak by imitating YouTubers. They discover love through memes. They build their self-esteem with filters. And when something hurts, they don't seek comfort in a hug, but in a notification.This book is born from both awe and fear-of seeing how childhood is being shaped by algorithms that know nothing of love or empathy. This isn't about bad technology or hollow nostalgia. It's not a moral pamphlet. It's a search. An attempt to understand what is happening when a generation learns to see itself first through a front-facing camera.I've listened to parents who don't know how to talk to their children. To teachers who can no longer hold their students' attention. To kids who don't understand who they are unless they're connected. And more than once, I've felt we're losing something essential-something no app can restore.Children Without a Net doesn't aim to provide final answers, but to open urgent questions. What are we failing to teach when a screen replaces everything? What does a society give up when it hands over its children's emotional development to digital entertainment? Is it still possible to recover play, stillness, tenderness?I hope this book is not just read. I hope it inspires deeper attention, longer conversations, and more present companionship.Because childhood-the real kind, the one that isn't recorded-still needs us.
