The Relationship of Gadget Use and Social-Emotional Development in South Lampung, Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current era has seen rapid technological progress, notably in gadgets. However, excessive gadget use, particularly among preschoolers, reveals detrimental effects on their social and emotional development. Data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health highlights that about 16% of Indonesian toddlers experience social and emotional disorders linked to excessive gadget use. Initial studies show that limited gadget exposure correlates with better social and emotional development. The present study, comprising a cohort of 96 respondents, has elucidated a significant correlation between gadget usage and the social and emotional maturation of preschool children. Empirical findings corroborate that restrained gadget usage correlates positively with favorable social and emotional developmental outcomes. Dissemination of this knowledge can be effectively facilitated through mediums such as leaflets, videos, or parenting presentations. Collective endeavors are imperative to ensure equitable growth and development among children in this era characterized by rapid technological advancements
