Lights, Camera, Child Influencer

On this episode of Why This Now? by Re:Set, we discover what it’s like to be the parent of a child internet personality.

Jai Catalano, who runs a family YouTube channel and Nisha Topwal, mother of influencer Anantya Anand take us on the other side of the camera to share their experiences with their children being in the public eye, dealing with criticism, and how they strike a balance in their kids’ school, online activity and social lives. We also have counselling psychologist Dr. Lavina Ahuja, who throws light on the changes in power dynamics in such families, what happens when money enters the picture, the dependency on external validation, and the effects of social media on young minds.
