Abstract

The development of digital technology presents new challenges in parenting, especially regarding the use of gadgets and teenage relationships. Ngembat Village, Gondang, Mojokerto, is facing serious problems related to the increasing rate of promiscuity and early marriage, which has an impact on social and family health. The urgency of the role of mothers in parenting in the digital era is needed to prevent this negative impact. This community service activity uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which actively involves mothers in discussions and formulation of solutions related to parenting in the digital era. This study finds that following the workshop by LPPM UAC, BKKBN and DQ, there was a great initiative to increase the awareness of Ngembat Village mothers on the risks of uncontrolled usage of gadgets on their children. The strategies that can be used are by implementing a change in the gadget timing at home and establish a communicative approach in supporting their children.
