Psychologist Kasandra Putranto said that parents need to introduce digital technology and provide knowledge about using digital devices to children at the right age.
"Since children are around six years old, parents can provide access with specific limitations and start introducing technology in a safe and targeted way," the clinical and forensic psychologist who graduated from the University of Indonesia told ANTARA on Wednesday.
"This includes introducing age-appropriate digital devices," he added.
When introducing digital devices to children, according to him, parents should also convey the importance of limiting gadget use according to needs.
The psychologist, who is also a member of the Indonesian Association of Clinical Psychologists, advised parents to limit the use of electronic devices to one to two hours a day for children aged six years.
