The Influence of Technology on the Interaction of Parents and Children in the Family
Abstract
This study explores how technology affects the interaction dynamics between parents and children in the family sphere. This study uses library research with integrative and comprehensive analysis in investigating and analyzing various related literature sources to understand the effect of technology use on parent-child interaction in the family context. The findings of this study highlight that the use of technology significantly impacts the interaction between parents and children in the family. The use of technology, especially when it is not regulated correctly, tends to reduce the time parents and children should spend together. However, it should be recognized that technology also has the potential to be a valuable tool, mainly when used wisely and as a positive educational resource. Therefore, effective management related to the use of technology in the family environment plays a crucial role in maintaining this balance. Parents have a responsibility to set healthy rules and boundaries regarding the use of technology, as well as to educate children about digital ethics. In addition, parents' active involvement in using technology with their children becomes crucial. With a wise and sustainable approach to technology, families can achieve a balance that supports the development and happiness of children amid an era of technological development that continues to grow.
