Credentials

Lakshmi is a science writer with two decades of experience and a lifelong love for all things nerdy. As a mother of a grown digital native, she’s still learning—and sharing—what it means to parent in the screen age. She believes “working mother” is a tautology and thinks curiosity is the best parenting tool.

Mission

Lakshmi believes parenting in the digital age takes tolerance, tactical timeouts, and tea. Lots of tea. Her mission: turn tech talk into practical parenting wisdom—minus the jargon. She helps parents navigate screen time and social media with confidence (and a sense of humor). If she’s learned it, she’s shared it. If not, she’s probably writing about it right now.
