JAKARTA, KOMPAS – Even though child gadget addiction has reached an alarming level, not many parents realize the dangers their children face. This is despite the fact that parents have a huge role in monitoring and limiting their children’s access to gadgets.

Parents should be firm in setting limits to gadget use in order to protect their children from gadget addiction. Many have yet to see this as a serious issue and some parents are still using gadgets to “compensate” for their decreased interaction time with their children as they get busier at work. Furthermore, parents often use gadgets to distract their children so that they attend to their daily activities undisturbed.
