Abstract


Parents in the digital era are in a complex position they are expected to possess knowledge and adapt to rapid technological advancements while still fulfilling their primary role of educating and guiding their children. In reality, there is a significant digital gap between generations in society. Digital parenting education is an appropriate solution to bridge the gap between the younger and older generations. Through digital parenting education, parents gain knowledge, skills, an understanding of the benefits and risks of digital usage, as well as parenting strategies that align with technological and informational developments in the digital age. This serves as an effort to mitigate digital disasters affecting children. The goal of this outreach program for parents is to provide education on digital parenting literacy so that parents can improve the quality of communication patterns within the family and reduce the risk of excessive gadget use among children. This is achieved by encouraging parents to implement gadget-use agreements through two-way communication. The method used in this community service activity was educational outreach to members of Fatayat NU Landungsari branch. The activity was attended by around 45 members of Fatayat NU from the Landungsari branch, who also served as partners in this initiative. The results of the activity, based on post-tests and interviews, indicated that the mothers gained new knowledge about the importance of supervising children’s gadget use. They also developed an understanding of the negative impacts of uncontrolled gadget use, ranging from academic consequences to the child’s psychological and emotional condition. The participants committed to engaging in two-way communication with their children so that the children can learn to use gadgets wisely and appropriately.
