JAKARTA – Gadgets or gadgets are devices that can be operated by various ages. Especially today’s children, who were born in the digital era, may not be like their parents used to be.
Roslina Verauli, Child and Family Psychologist, said that in today’s digital era, parents cannot avoid their children from using gadgets. Because, gadgets are considered good in children’s lives in the future.

But on the other hand, parents are certainly worried if their child is addicted to gadgets. But parents also don’t know for sure the indications that their children are addicted to gadgets.
Vera explained that gadget addiction is indicated by the disruption of children’s daily functions, such as playing, studying, interacting with family and friends.
“The use of gadgets for children to play should not be more than an hour,” he explained virtually.
However, not a few parents use gawai as a replacement figure. So, instead of inviting the child to play, but instead let him play his own work.
Of course this is wrong. Parents will find it difficult to limit their children from using gadgets. This is because children are accustomed to using gadgets, rather than interacting with other people.
“There are even those who (use gadgets) 5-7 hours per day, are used for playing not studying. It’s terrible. I’m afraid that children tend to have emotional problems,” added Vera.
The role of parents must still be as a companion. Because, at each stage of the child’s age has different goals and boundaries. But there is one thing in common, that the device is a medium for children’s learning process.
Vera gave an example, when a child is 2 years old, parents really need to limit and really provide assistance. At the age of 3-5 years, children begin the process of learning to draw and read, and see entertainment.

At the age of 6 years and over, children use gadgets for school learning activities, searching the web, organizing data, viewing entertainment, and communication tools.
“So it’s not when to introduce gawai to children, but so that gawai has an optimal function for their growth,” he said.
