Abstract

The development of digital technology has increased children's access to gadgets at an early age. Uncontrolled use of gadgets risks negatively impacting children's motor, cognitive, social, and emotional development. This study aims to determine the relationship between the role of parents in gadget supervision and the development of children aged 4-6 years in ABA Mlangi Kindergarten. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational analytical survey design and a cross sectional approach. A sample of 55 children was taken using the quota sampling technique. The instruments used were a questionnaire to assess the role of parents and a Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire (KPSP) to assess children's development. The results of the study showed that 58.2% of parents had a good role in supervising gadgets and 67.3% of children had development according to their age. The results of the Spearman Rank test showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the role of parents in gadget supervision and child development (r = 0.614; p = 0.000) indicating a meaningful positive relationship (p < 0.05). The better the parental supervision, the more optimal the child's development. This research supports the importance of family-based interventions in the use of technology by early childhood.
