Digital Parenting and Digital Childhood: Raising Gifted Children Born into the Digital Age

Abstract

In an age when technology is effective in many areas, it's unreasonable to keep kids away from it. Children born in the age of technology, who share their photos against their will from birth, do not hesitate to use technological devices and have the curiosity and ability to use multiple digital media at once. They use digital media and devices as creative, productive, and problem-solving tools. They need direction. Parents and teachers need skills and attitudes to help children use technology positively. Digital parenting and media guidance as new parent roles reflect this perspective. The digital parenting perspective says it's not true to keep kids away from media and devices by focusing on the negatives. Instead of focusing on the adverse effects of technology, he suggests teaching children how to use digital media and tools to solve daily problems. The digital parenting approach seems more stimulating for children and adults. We need children who understand digital tools better than us in today's world, where problems can't be solved without technology. The research focused on the positive effects of technology on children in terms of "being the parent of gifted children born in the digital age" It allows them to use this content rationally to create new content and share it with new social connections. This research may contribute to social sciences by shedding light on digitalization, gifted children, and related applications.
