Abstract:

The purpose of this phenomenological study is to explore the mothers’ perspectives on how gadgets affect their children in middle childhood in relation to school and behavior. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis on data gathered indicates that the mother's guidance is vital for the children's social and behavioral development. To avoid excessive gadget use that may harm their children's health, mothers limit usage by making sure all of the schoolwork is completed before allowing them to use their devices. Some children's behavior changes when they are asked to follow parental instructions, and they often spend the majority of their time on the gadget they have neglected to use for their chores. The findings of this study brought out recommendations and proposed programs specifically for the mothers of children in middle childhood.
