It’s not just about playing too much; it’s about losing control, where virtual worlds become more real than reality itself. For the vibrant community of Satrangi Gurukul, a platform dedicated to holistic growth and mindful living, understanding this epidemic is crucial to reclaiming mental peace and productivity.

Children no longer chase each other through open grounds and fields, build forts from sticks, or lose themselves in the magic of pretend play. A world where the glare of screens, phones, tablets, TVs, shadows the laughter of kids climbing trees or splashing in puddles or chasing ants chain. Satrangi Gurukul shares the shocking truth about the decline of traditional play and what we can do to reclaim childhood for the next generation.

In the 1990s, an Indian summer was a not just a holiday. Children traded textbooks for train tickets to “Naani ka ghar,” where extended families wove unbreakable bonds. As Satrangi Gurukul reflects, “Those summers taught us creativity through play, connection through stories, and resilience through shared experiences”. “Unstructured time with family fostered emotional intelligence, a cornerstone of mental health.”
