Technology has been a great help in a lot of things in life. In the field of

parenting, it has been significantly impacted by it. With a variety of tools, resources,

and challenges available to parents today, technology has completely changed

how parents manage the process of raising children. However, despite its potential

benefits, technology in parenting brings forth numerous negative consequences for

both parents and their children, demanding careful consideration based on our

gathered data. The question that this research aims to answer is “How does

technology affect parenting and how to integrate it in parenting while minimizing

the potential negative effects of it?” To be able to gather the data that the

researchers need, they interviewed participants that met the criteria which are

parents that let their children under 10 years old use technology using semi-

structured interview. The result of this research concludes that parents let their

children use technology because of its benefits on their children’s education and

their safety as well as to occupy their children for them to be able to focus in their

other duties. This study wanted to raise awareness of the use of technology on

children and that parents must not rely on technology for their children because it

have a detrimental effect on them based on out study.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND ITS PROBLEM)

INTRODUCTION

Technology has a great impact on how people relate to one another on a

regular basis and in society. Communication, education, and the thought processes

of people are all impacted by technology (Allen, 2019). It makes things interesting

and easier, especially for parents. However, parenting in the digital age has now

become more challenging than ever before because of the benefits and

drawbacks that technology provides for parenting and general wellbeing that must

not be ignored (Pietrangelo, 2019). Parenting is mentally and emotionally taxing, and

it frequently necessitates substantial financial hardship and personal sacrifices

(Association for Psychological Science, 2011). As the world enters the technological

age, parents must control their own use of the internet and mobile devices, as well

as their kids’ utilization of and access to the same technology, to maintain a balance

(Auxier et. al., 2020). One benefit of technology in parenting is that parents can

regulate their children's internet use on all of their devices by using mobile

applications to limit when and how much time they spend online. Their kids will pick

up good technology usage habits from them. Conditioning youngsters to know when

Page 1
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
and how to limit their screen time leads to a balanced online diet for kids (Mikell,

2022). Nevertheless, this is still really difficult for most parents, especially those who

have just started being parents. As a result, some parents hire nannies to babysit their

children, while others use the new, modern type of babysitter, the "Technological

Nanny".

According to Vulic (2020), the phrase "tech nanny" refers to a parenting style in

which parents utilize technology to entertain their kids, such as cellphones, tablets,

and iPads, so they can attend to their other duties. However, other parents have

their own reasons for letting their children access technology at a young age. Based

on the survey conducted by Auxier ET. al. (2020), in addition to providing

entertainment, parents believe that technology aids in their children's education

since it is easier to access, particularly when it comes to engaging videos on the

internet that introduce them to various cultures. Moreover, for parents who lack

confidence in their parenting skills and have limited support from their partners,

technology is being used to provide their presence and information about taking

care of their own children (Nikken, 2019). Aside from that, based on the study of

Mallawaarachchi ET. al. (2022), social norms play a significant role in shaping parents'

attitudes and behaviors around the use of technology as a babysitter. When parents

perceive that the use of technology as a babysitter is common and accepted within

their social circles, they are more likely to use it themselves. Furthermore, many

parents today have busy work schedules and social lives, which can make it difficult

to spend enough time with their children. As a result, parents turn to technology as a

Page 2
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
convenient way to keep their children occupied while they attend to their other

responsibilities (Gushée, 2023). On top of that, the digital play market has become

increasingly commercialized, with companies using a variety of marketing strategies

to promote their products to parents, including claims about educational benefits,

positive developmental outcomes, and interactive play experiences, which can

make parents, feel more comfortable using technology as a babysitter (Marsh &

Bishop, 2018).

In addition, parents use technology to calm their children when they throw

tantrums, which greatly relieves them of so much stress. They noticed that when they

permitted their kids to use gadgets, their kids became more compliant and peaceful

(Mostafavi, 2016). However, this can also make children dependent and obsessed

with technology, resulting in negative behavior and reduced interactions with their

parents (Dashevsky, 2014). On the other hand, some parents expose their kids to

technology at a young age in order to prepare them for their future careers and for

the future when technology becomes more prevalent (Laditan, 2013). Unfortunately,

some parents are not aware of the possible risks associated with too much screen

usage by their children (Radesky & Christakis, 2016).

1.1 Effects of Tech Nanny on Children’s Development 1

There’s much more to learn about technological nanny, including the benefits

and downsides it may bring to its users. Children as young as two are able to use

technologies such as television and mobile gadgets, and allowing this to continue

Page 3
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
will have unfavorable effects on the kids (Ortiz, 2018). Based on the study of Radesky

(2022), the technologies those children use might lead them to miss out on a lot of

opportunities that carry what children need for developing self-regulation. There are

a lot of dangers associated with letting kids browse the internet and use gadgets.

One of these consequences is concern for security. Youngsters don't always

understand the concept of security, and they are more likely to become targets of

criminals. According to Sadowski (2012), cybersecurity is an important factor that

can have a major impact on children because criminals can also use gadgets and

the internet to harass them. It is also challenging for parents with demanding

schedules to closely monitor their children's use of technology. Children may thus be

exposed to a variety of online material, including incorrect or unreliable information

(Woda, 2019). Due to the lack of guidance and supervision, children may also be

more prone to trusting anything they read online without questioning its validity or

credibility (Cyberwise, 2021). They can also be exposed to unsuitable content and

interact with dishonest people online (Capriola, 2019). Moreover, the overuse of

technology can cause children to have issues with face-to-face social interaction

and mental stability, as well as physical problems (Sadowski, 2012).

Children's social skills may not be properly developing due to the rising usage

of technology. As a result, there is an increase in the number of kids who develop

lower self-esteem, become introverted and awkward, and have the potential to lack

interpersonal skills (Necthem, 2021). Besides their social development, excessive use

of technology among children can lead to serious health problems. Early childhood

Page 4
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
habits establish the groundwork for the development of lifestyle patterns, such as

eating habits, physical activity levels, and screen time (Mallawaarachchi et. al.,

2022). Spending extended periods of time on phones, video games, or watching TV

reduces physical activity, increases sedentary behavior, and develops bad habits

that result in children’s obesity, poor posture, and even eye strain (Simms, 2022).

Children's development is absolutely important to polish from a young age, but

because most children are becoming more technologically dependent, they have

fewer opportunities to practice developing those skills (Organization for Economic

Co-operation and Development, 2019). Also, due to their ongoing exposure to

constant stimulation from digital devices, children tend to have short attention spans.

Their short attention span and lack of concentration have a significant impact on

their academic performances (Oaten, 2022). Additionally, a child's mood can be

significantly impacted by the sleep disruption caused by too much screen usage. As

a result, they spend less time being creative or active and get less exercise, which

increases their risk of developing emotional and physical problems (Kowalski, 2016).

These are the reasons why specialists are advising parents to stop relying on

technology to babysit their children (Veloso, 2017).

1.2 Effects of Technology as a new Obsession of Children 2

Children who grow up surrounded by technology run the risk of becoming

overly dependent on it and developing an obsession with using it. Parents must limit

their children’s usage of technology; however, when their children become angry or

sad, they will give them gadgets to soothe them. Unfortunately, allowing them to

Page 5
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
spend time on their screens as a form of comfort won't teach them how to handle

those emotions in a healthy way. In fact, it may lead to a dependence on or

habitual use of technology (Rumpf, 2013). Based on the study of Hazelden (2023),

technology dependence will lead to possible addiction. Being overly obsessed with

technology, they tend to think rashly, which could have unfavorable effects. Their

obsession may even impair their problem-solving abilities, leading them to rely solely

on technology rather than employing their own abilities to come up with a solution

(Nechtem, 2021). Also, one of the effects of being overly dependent on technology

is being tense, unable to unwind, and having trouble falling asleep (Youlden, 2019).

Most worryingly, they lose interest in their own favorite pastimes and other interests

(Frey, 2021).

1.3 Benefits of Tech Nanny to Children and Parents

Despite the fact that technology can have detrimental effects on kids who

are exposed to it, if used properly, it can still be beneficial to them. Particularly to

parents who have children with autism or other medical conditions. It can improve

communication for a child with a medical condition who has trouble speaking or is

unable to talk at all (Campbell, 2016). They would be able to learn properly and

interact with their peers and teacher more effectively. As such, technology has been

a very good tool used for education by the school and parents (Dixit, 2022).

According to Adhikari (2022), for children, gadgets promote enhanced and

advanced learning experiences. It helps them to enhance their skills and even learn

a basic skill because of the video that they watched. Also, it allows them to explore

Page 6
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
their topics of interest. Technology gives them an unlimited source for expressing their

ideas and develops their creativity (Kolber, 2018). Not only that, but according to

Emini (2023), when children are exposed online, they can be encouraged by others

to think maturely, like respecting other cultures and accepting things that are

different from them.

1.4 Technological Nanny as a form of Monitoring

When talking about technology, it does not only include mobile phones and

gadgets. The use of technology, such as cameras, to monitor the children is actually

helpful, especially if the parents are not by their side. And by doing so, parents make

sure of their child's security (Jargon, 2016). With a short phone text, parents and kids

can check in on each other throughout the day. Knowing where the children are at

all times and knowing that they can be reached immediately in an emergency gives

parents peace of mind (Ana, 2015). One of the reasons parents let their children play

with gadgets is because they believe it is much safer to do so. In some cases, digital

devices can provide a safe and controlled environment for children to play and

explore, particularly when compared to unsupervised outdoor play or other activities

(Sundus, 2017). Some digital media products and apps allow children to interact with

others and make new friends in a virtual space, which can help improve their social

skills, strengthen their mental health, and provide a platform for expressing

themselves (Gordon, 2022).

Page 7
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
Technology has already spread its influence to different parts of the world.

Additionally, many kids under the age of 12 have already been exposed to various

kinds of technology (Pew Research Center, 2020). Although parents use technology

to nanny their children, there are still numerous concerns that arise from parents

whenever they let their children use gadgets. The genuine problem, though, is that

as kids spend more time on their devices, family interactions and communication are

being left behind (Gushée, 2023). Despite the fact that both parents and kids use

technology for entertainment and relaxation, it is still necessary for the both of them

to spend time together, which helps strengthen personal connection and foster

empathy towards each other's concerns and to other people (Singh, 2023).

Tech nanny is an issue that needs further awareness among people, especially

parents. Children need the care and guidance of a human being. Several parents

have said that once their children spend a significant amount of time using a

smartphone or tablet, they notice behavioral issues in their kids (Hefferman, 2015).

According to Ceder (2020), technology cannot give the attention, guidance, and

security that a parent can give to their children. Children do not understand properly

how they can affect other people. Positive guidance and discipline are essential for

kids because they encourage self-control, educate responsibility, and aid in the

development of deliberate decision-making (Fletcher, 2023).

Thus, the difference between a tech nanny and a parent is fundamental to

the development of the child’s character, beliefs, and behavior (Vulic, 2020). Tech

nanny is not only a problem of the technology but also of how the user uses it.

Page 8
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
Although there are a lot of studies about the effect of technology on children, not

much can be found about the technological nanny that greatly affects the future

development of children. As the world becomes more technological, parenting too

will be much different (Aggarwal, 2019).

1.5 Synthesis and Rationale

This study aims to understand the potential risk and benefits associated with

using technology as a babysitter through the observation and experiences of their

parents.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Here are the questions this study aims to answer:

1. What are the factors that lead parents to rely on technology as a method of

supervision for their children?

2. What are the benefits of using technology as a babysitter for their children’s

development?

3. What are the drawbacks of using technology as a babysitter for their children’s

development?

4. What are the implications of this study to the field of ICT?

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Theories and concepts for children’s engagement with digital technologies

Page 9
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
A theory of Stoilova (2020), the field of knowledge related to children's online

risks, safety, and the impact of technological changes on children and youth is highly

multidisciplinary. This means that understanding these topics requires insights and

expertise from various disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, education, and

technology. In summary, the theory emphasizes that the study of children's online

risks, safety, and the impact of technology on youth requires a multidisciplinary

approach, offering both advantages in terms of a broader knowledge base, but also

challenges in terms of integrating diverse findings and concepts from different

disciplines. This theory assist in identifying and addressing potential dangers and

security issues related to the use of technology in parenting for children. Through it

deeper comprehension on the online risk of children being expose to technology,

this theory's use can aid in addressing the complicated issues and opportunities

brought on by technological nanny, ultimately encouraging their responsible and

advantageous use for kids and families.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

After all the gathering all the data the researcher’s needed, they were able to

identify the variables in the study. Technology in parenting is said to have both

advantages and disadvantages on parents and their children. The researchers have

found that children’s education and safety benefited and can be monitored if they

use technology. It is also one of the main reasons why parents use technology in their

children. However, it also has drawbacks on their physical, social, and psychological

well-being. Overall, to be able to integrate technology on parenting while minimizing

the potential drawbacks of it, the researchers found that parents must raise their

awareness about technology as well as limit and discipline their children on the

effects and use of technology on them.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

Page 11
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
As this age group is thought to be the most vulnerable to the possible effects

of using technology as a nanny, the researchers delimited the study to parents who

had kids under 10 years old in the area of Dasmariñas, Cavite. To maintain the

specificity of the research aims, children older than 10 were not be included in this

study. This study focuses on the possible impacts of technology as a babysitter on the

growth of young children. The researchers did not consider the socio-economic

status of the families using technology as a babysitter and only focused on the

experiences of the children and their parents' usage of technology. This study

recognizes that parents make important choices about how to raise their kids and

whether to use technology as a nanny. This study does not, however, seek to impose

any particular viewpoint on parents regarding the usage of technology. The opinions

and decisions of parents were respected and considered in the interpretation of the

results.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study could raise awareness among parents about the potential risks and

benefits associated with using technology as a babysitter. Secondly, it could

contribute to the academic literature on the impact of technology on child

development and well-being. Additionally, this study could contribute to a better

understanding of the complex relationship between children, parents, and

technology in the modern world. Therefore, there are several potential groups of

people that could benefit from research on technological nanny, including:

Page 12
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
Parents. Parents may make more informed decisions about their children's gadget

usage, how and when to introduce technology to their children, and how to reduce

any potential bad impacts by being aware of the risks and advantages of using

technology as a babysitter.

Educators. Learning about the benefits and cons of using technology as a babysitter

can also assist educators in developing rules and regulations for utilizing technology

in the classroom and educating kids on how technology impacts them.

Pediatricians. This research can help healthcare professionals about risks associated

with young children's excessive screen use. This research can be particularly useful in

developing programs that motivate kids, their families, and other people to use

media properly.

Children. By enhancing their comprehension of the benefits and drawbacks of using

technology, it can also help kids develop positive online habits. Children can also

learn how to use technology safely and ethically as well as how it can be used in

educational contexts.

Technology companies and developers. This study can help technology businesses

and developers by providing them with important advice on how to make more

age-appropriate and practical digital material for young children.

Future researchers. This study provides a foundation for further exploration and study

in the field of child development and technology. Future researchers may use it to

investigate how technology affects early childhood development and to identify

Page 13
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
any potential areas of concern. Additionally, it might provide light on the most

effective and secure ways that technology might enhance children's learning and

development.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

CHAPTER II

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

To be able to guarantee that the research is carried out with rigor and

transparency and that the findings are accurate, legitimate, and trustworthy, this

chapter discusses the research design, participants of the study, instrumentation,

data gathering procedures, and data analysis for the research about technological

nanny.

RESEARCH DESIGN

A research design refers to the gathering of crucial data through the

application of specific research methods. In simpler terms, it involves compiling

information or data by formulating a hypothesis and systematically deriving

significant findings (Team Leverage Edu, 2023). And the research design that the

researchers applied in this study is phenomenology. Phenomenology is an approach

to research that proves particularly beneficial when delving into the depths of the

audience's thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This research design serves as a

valuable tool for gaining profound insights into the audience's perspective, raising

awareness about the subject of study, and cultivating new theories surrounding the

audience's encounters within a specific, controlled setting (Gerind, 2023).

Phenomenology is to delve into the subjective realities of individuals and gain

insight into their lived experiences and emotions. That’s why the researchers

employed a phenomenological approach in their research. The focus was on

Page 16
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
capturing the essence of the phenomenon through the narratives provided by

participants. By embracing their unique perspectives, the researchers can create in-

depth descriptions that illuminated the intricate nature of the phenomenon under

study. Phenomenology allowed the researchers to go beyond surface-level

observations and uncover the underlying meanings and significance attributed to

the phenomenon by those who have experienced it firsthand.

PARTICIPANTS OF THE STUDY

The researchers used a non-probability sampling technique called "Purposive

Sampling". Purposive sampling includes selecting individuals who meet specified

criteria that are relevant to the research or objective of the study (Hassan, 2022). This

sampling technique is also known as judgmental, selective, or subjective sampling.

The goal of using purposive sampling in research is to choose participants with

particular experiences that are significant to the study (Crossman, 2020).

To collect the necessary data for the research, this study needs a certain set of

participants who provided the necessary data for the research. Hence, the

researcher used the purposive sampling technique since it is a time-efficient

sampling method that benefited the study. Also, the researchers provided certain

criteria for selecting participants. The number of participants was around 10–20. The

researchers looked for participants who met the criteria and asked their consent.

For identifying the participants of the study, the following criteria were taken in

consideration:

Page 17
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
• Parents that lived in General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite.

• Parents who had kids that uses technology.

• Parents who had kids under 10 years old.

INSTRUMENTATION

Instrumentation is the process of constructing research instruments that could

be used appropriately in gathering data for the study. The questionnaire, interview,

and observation are the most commonly used tools for gathering data (Bitonio,

2014). Interviews are most effective for qualitative research because they can help

the researchers better understand and explore the research subjects' opinions,

behaviors, experiences, and phenomena (DeBose, 2015). According to George

(2022), there are several types of interviews, often differentiated by their level of

structure. Each structure has its own elements; however, the researchers used the

semi-structured interview because it is more beneficial for the research. A semi-

structured interview is a type of interview that has some questions or topics planned

in advance but also allows for flexibility and spontaneity in asking other questions. It is

a combination of structured and unstructured interview styles that can offer the

benefits of both. Lastly, the researchers asked open-ended questions to the

participants so that in-depth information were collected (Stolle et. al., 2022).

The data collection instrument that the researchers used was an interview

guide where all the questions were written. It is for ensuring that the interview is

orderly, comprehensive, and consistent across interviews and enhancing the

Page 18
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
comparability of data between participants. Another instrument that the researcher

used was a recording device to ensure that the participant's comments were

precisely recorded so that they can be thoroughly reviewed and studied after the

interview.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

The researchers aim to understand the effects of technology on both parents

and children’s lives. To be able to find the right information, the researchers looked

for participants who met the given criteria. The researchers provided a waiver for the

participants in the study.

Using the prepared research questions, the researchers gathered information

from the participants. The researchers conducted a semi-structured interview with

the aid of an audio recording. For thorough and comprehensive information, experts

and witnesses were also interviewed. It was for the benefit of the researchers as well

as the participants, in order to provide them with more information and a more

thorough analysis. After the data is collected, the researchers analyzed the

information given by the participants, professionals, and witnesses to further expand

the research. Lastly, to be able to answer the research questions, the researchers

drew a conclusion using the gathered data.

DATA ANALYSIS

Page 19
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
Data analysis is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical

techniques to describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data. This

study used triangulation as the data analysis tool for qualitative data.

A. Triangulation

Triangulation refers to the use of multiple methods or data sources in qualitative

research to develop a comprehensive understanding of phenomena (Bhandari

2022). Triangulation has also been viewed as a qualitative research strategy to test

validity through the convergence of information from different sources. According to

Denzin (2016), in addition to validation, triangulation aims to broaden and enhance

understanding about a certain topic. It can be used to produce innovation in

conceptual framing. It might result in multiple meta-interpretations. By examining

human behavior from multiple angles, triangulation aims to map out or completely

explain its variety and complexity (Cohen & Manio, 2020). Therefore, the researchers

consulted with expert in childcare and development, such as pediatricians and

teachers, to further deepen the understanding of the researchers about the

technological nanny.

B. Thematic Analysis

Page 20

Science Arts and Trade
The examination of patterns in order to clarify meaning is known as thematic

analysis. To put it in another way, it involves analyzing the trends and themes

contained in the data collected to determine the underlying significance and make

a conclusion out of it (Crosley, 2021). According to Caulfield (2019), when analyzing

a collection of qualitative data, such as interview transcripts, social media profiles, or

survey results, thematic analysis is a useful method for learning more about people's

beliefs, knowledge, experiences, or values.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

In this chapter, the researchers had conducted a semi-structured interview on

participants that met the criteria needed for the research. The followings were the

findings based on the answers of the participants that the researchers interviewed.

Research Question no. 1: What are the factors that lead parents to rely on technology

as a method of supervision for their children?

“…hindi ko maasikaso ng maayos yung anak ko tuwing umaga kasi busy sa

work kaya ano... pinapagamit ko sila ng cellphone para naman tumahimik at may

malaro.”

- Parent 10

“...Mas nakakapagpokus ako sa ginagawa ko kase natatahimik lang sila sa isang

tabi.”

- Parent 4

“…maaliw ang anak naming habang abala kami sa trabaho…”

- Parent 2

Parent 10, Parent 2 and Parent 4 have stated that work make it difficult for

them to spend enough time with their children, as a result, they tend to rely on

technology to keep their children occupied. Mostafavi (2016) has justified that kids

Page 22
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
became more compliant and peaceful when they use gadget that entertain them

or occupied their time.

"Meron naman, tulad na lang din na kapag busy ang parents, papagamit nila ng

technology na sobrang popular ngayon, upang ang mga parents eh may time to

do their jobs."

- Nurse 3

Nurse 3 stated that when parents have busy schedules and need to prioritize their

work responsibilities, they may turn to technology as a solution. Parents can use

technology to handle their responsibilities more effectively while freeing up time for

their jobs. This style of parenting allows a balance between their work and children.

Research Question no. 2: What are the benefits of using technology for their children?

“…para sa kanilang pag-aaral. Need kasi nila non pangsearch kaya ayon, ayon

lagi pinapagamit ko sa kanila.”

- Parent 9

“Mabilis silang natututo…”

- Parent 2

Page 23
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
“…pinapanood ko nga sila ng mga video na pambata para matuto sila mag-

english.”

- Parent 1

"Ah ano d’yan din kase kame kumukuha ng information tungkol sa school

ganon…"

- Parent 6

Parent 9, Parent 2, Parent 6, and Parent 1 have stated that because

technology can help their children with their school activities, they let them have

access on them. Mittha (2021) justified that technology can bring many benefits on

children when it comes to their school activities because it provides children with

access to a vast amount of information and educational resources.

"…ang natutunan nila at nakuha nila sa internet ay talagang very informative at

makakapag bago ng kanilang ways."

- Teacher 1

“…walang kahirap hirap silang mag ano magsasaliksik dahil punta lamang sila

don sa google.”

- Teacher 2

Page 24
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
Teacher 1 and Teacher 2 stated that technology made students life easier

because of some online source where they can get the answers that they need.

“…madali ko malaman kung saan ‘yung anak ko.”

- Parent 9

“…maaring makausap sila through video call.”

- Parent 2

"Kapag wala sila mabalis silang matatawagan…"

- Parent 6

Parent 9, Parent 2, and Parent 6 had stated that it is safer for their children to

have technology because they will have access to their children’s location if they

are away from them or for communicating with each other. Wrablewski (2015)

justified that with a short phone text, parents and kids can check in on each other

throughout the day. Knowing where the children are at all times and knowing that

they can be reached immediately in an emergency gives parents peace of mind. /

Research Question no. 3: What are the drawbacks of using technology for their

children?

Page 25
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
“Tsaka sa school din pala, napapansin ko lang ahh, ano, doon na talaga sila

laging nalapit sa mga cellphone nila at internet…”

- Parent 1

Parent 1 stated that although technology has greatly helped her child in their

education, she also notice that they are being dependent on it. Kaspersky (2016)

justified that being overly dependent on technology for children’s education has

negative effect on their behavior at school, hinder children's ability to think critically,

problem-solve, and engage in face-to-face interactions.

"…dedepend na lang sila ng mag dedepend sa technology…"

- Teacher 1

"…pagawin mo lang ng isang sentence, sentence ng nga lang hahanapin pa

ang cellphone para mag hanap ng translator…"

- Teacher 1

Teacher 1 stated that by being technology dependent, students are losing

their originality and just prefer to look information in technology instead of using their

mind. They won’t learn properly if they continue to depend on technology for their

education.

Page 26

“…nanlalabo na ang kaniyang paningin kakapuyat sa gadget niya.”

- Parent 10

“…minsan nasosobrahan na sila sa gamit so yung mata talaga unang unang

naaapektuan.”

- Parent 8

Parent 10 and Parent 8 have stated that because of too much exposure of

their children on gadget, they noticed that their children’s vision got badly affected.

Simms (2022) justified that spending extended periods of time on phones, video

games, or watching TV result in children’s obesity, poor posture, eye strain, and even

blurry vision.

“…sa mga batang gumagamit ng digital na screen at ipinikit ang kanilang mga

mata ay maaaring magkaroon ng kondisyong tinatawag na myopia, o

nearsightedness.”

- Nurse 1

“…makakaapekto eto sa bata ng nearsightedness tsaka visual blurry sa paraang

ano too much using gadget o too much staying on the screen can cause bad

effect on the eyes."

- Nurse 2

Page 27
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
Nurse 1 and 2 stated that excessive use of gadgets can cause an eye disease

called myopia or nearsightedness in a child who uses too much gadgets. Excessive

exposure to the lights of the screen can also cause visual blurry.

“…nag-iiba ugali haha kaya ayoko din na pagamitin siya eh.”

- Parent 7

"…’yung mga napapanood nila minsan sa mga website ginagaya nila."

- Parent 5

“…yung mga mura na natutunan niyang magsalita ganon.”

- Parent 2

Parents 7, Parent 2, and Parent 5 have stated that their children imitate what

they watch and see on websites. Capriole (2019) justified that children can also be

exposed to unsuitable content and interacts with dishonest people online as well as

copying what they see on the internet without questioning its validity or credibility.

“…sa kanilang mental health naman dahil sa mga napapanood nila sa social

media minsan kinokopya nila ito at kung ano anong nakikita nila don…”

- Nurse 3

Nurse 3 stated that children’s mental health is impacted by the content they

consume on social media. They may be influenced by what they see, leading them

Page 28
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
to imitate or mimic certain behaviors they encounter online. This can have

implications for their mental well-being as they try to emulate and incorporate what

they perceive through social media into their own lives.

“…sa sobrang busy kakagamit ng tablet nakakalimutan niya na ang ibang

gawaing bahay.”

- Parent 9

“…hindi na sila active sa pagtulong sa bahay minsan paggising pa lang ano,

nasa cellphone na sila agad.”

- Parent 8

Parent 8 and Parent 9 have stated that their children forget to do other things

because they were too invested and focused on their gadgets.

“…nahihirapan na silang makatapos ng isang gawain,tulad ng gawaing bahay

or takdang aralin, nagiging emotionally unstable…”

- Nurse 1

Nurse 1 stated that because of technology, children are facing difficulties in

completing tasks, such as household chores or assigned work, and are experiencing

emotional instability. It is because they are too attached on their gadgets.

Page 29
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade

“…simula nung nagkaroon na siya ng gadget na ‘yan madalang na lang siya

makipag-usap. Ano… umiiwas na rin siya sa ibang tao.”

- Parent 10

Parent 10 had noticed that technology has a detrimental effect on their child’s

social development because before, Parent 10’s child was active with interacting to

others. Charles (2021) justified that because children spends a lot of time with their

gadget, they will and can develop lower self-esteem, become introverted and

awkward, and have the potential to lack interpersonal skills.

“…sa kanilang social development naman po, yung iba nagiging anti-social kase

mas gusto nila mag gadget kesa makisalamuha sa ibang tao."

- Nurse 3

“…sa social develpment naman nag cacause ito ng pag kawala ng ganang

makihalubilo sa iba."

- Nurse 2

Nurse 3 and Nurse 2 have stated that due to technology, children can lose

interest with social interaction to other people which can negatively affect their

ability to make friends and can also affect their mental health.

Page 30
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade

“Nagtatrantum na siya minsan pagkinukuha ‘yung phone…”

- Parent 2

Parent 2 had stated that she noticed how her child threw tantrums because

she took her child’s gadget away from her child. Petersen (2020) justified that young

children lack the emotional self-control necessary to consistently make the change

without freaking out.

“…naiimpluwensyahan ng gadgets ang ugali ng bata hanggang sa pag laki nito,

at may posibilidad na habang lumalaki ang bata mas dumedepende ito sa gadget

na maaaring maging dahilan ng pag tatantrum nito kapag kinuhaan mo siya ng

gadget.”

- Nurse 1

“…at nababawasan ang self-control ng isang bata na madalas gumamit ng

gadgets."

- Nurse 1

Nurse 1 have justified that children that use technology at an early age can

develop dependence on technology which also cause their behavior and attitude

Page 31
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
to change. Tantrums and other excessive behavior can be the sign of them being

dependent on technology.

Page 32
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
Research Question no. 4: What are the implications of this study in the field of ICT?

The advantages and drawbacks of technology in parenting were explored in

this thematic analysis through the interviews with parents that have children that use

technology. The results of the interview based on the parent’s observation regarding

their children’s use of technology, provided insight into the questions that this

research needed.

The first theme is “Advantages of technology in Parenting” which highlighted

the benefits of technology on parenting for both the parents and their children.

Based on the findings, there are two subthemes under the advantages which are

Education and Safety. The technology has greatly helped the children with their

education to become independent learners and a convenient tool that make it

easier for children when it comes to their school activities. The second sub-theme is

Page 33
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
about their children’s safety. It reveals that due to the practical use of technology,

they will be able to contact their children anytime and speak with them if they are

away from each other. Parents may rest easy knowing where their kids are at all

times and that they can be reached right away in case of an emergency.

The second theme, “Drawbacks of technology in Parenting” is about the

challenges and negative effect of technology on children based on their parent’s

observation. The first sub-theme is Physical Health. It delves into the physical

discomfort that the children encountered because of using technology. Parents

can't always keep an eye on how their kids use technology, and kids can't always

control how much they use it. This has an impact on their physical health, particularly

their eyes. Based on the findings, most parents have noticed that technology

negatively affected their children’s eye causing a blurry vision, and even caused

them to sleep late at night.

The second sub-theme would be the negative effects of technology in

children’s social development and interaction with other people. This sub-theme

explores the detrimental impact of their children excessive use of technology in their

social life and development. The findings showed that kids who were exposed to

technology ceased interacting with others and even avoided them.

Psychological sub-theme delves into the negative effects of technology in

children’s behavior and the influence of it on them. Children simply copy what they

Page 34
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
see online, and they don't even consider if it's good or negative. The findings suggest

that technology may potentially have an impact on their attitude.

The analysis also explores the reasons why parents use technology as a nanny

for their children. The two reasons of them are for entertainment and time

management. According to the findings, parents find it challenging g to spend

enough time with their kids because of jobs, therefore they frequently turn to

technology to occupy and entertain them. The two sub-themes are closely related,

because parents entertain their children for them to be able to have enough time to

do their other duties and manage their time properly. It is a strategy employed by

the parents to assist them with parenting.

CHAPTER IV

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In this section, a concise overview of the research study is provided. It includes

a recap of the research objectives, methodology, and key points discussed in the

previous chapters as well as a detailed analysis and interpretation of the data

collected during the research process. Also, practical suggestions or

recommendations are made based on the findings and conclusions.

SUMMARY

Technology’s role in society and people has grown prominently in the modern

era, even taking on the job of a nanny for children. With the advancements in digital

devices and applications, technology has the potential to assist parents in various

aspects of child care. A modern parenting style that refers to the concept of using

technology, such as digital devices, apps, and smart home systems, to assist in

childcare and parenting tasks is called "Technological Nanny". A technological

nanny encompasses a range of technologies designed to support parents in various

aspects of child care, including monitoring, education, safety, and entertainment.

Technology can bring many benefits to children when it comes to their education

because it provides them with access to a vast amount of information and

educational resources. Furthermore, many parents today have busy work schedules

and social lives; as a result, they turn to technology as a convenient way to keep

their children occupied while they attend to their other responsibilities. However, as

Page 36
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
much as it is beneficial to children and parents, there are still a lot of dangers

associated with letting kids browse the internet and use gadgets. Youngsters don't

always understand the concept of security, and they are more likely to become

targets of criminals if not monitored properly. Most importantly, children’s

development will be affected if they are exposed to technology at an early age.

Children's social skills may not be properly developing if they are constantly glued to

their gadgets and have no time to interact with other people or even with their

family. Besides their social development, excessive use of technology among

children can lead to serious health problems such as eye strain, obesity, poor

posture, and bad habits. Additionally, children who grow up surrounded by

technology run the risk of becoming overly dependent on it and developing an

obsession with using it. However, it's crucial to maintain a balance and utilize

technology sensibly; making sure that it enhances rather than replaces human

interaction. Therefore, this study aims to understand the potential risks and benefits

associated with using technology as a babysitter through the observation and

experiences of their parents.

To be able to do that, the researchers conducted an interview with specific

participants who met the criteria. The criteria include parents who have children who

use technology under the age of 10. The researchers used a semi-structured

interview, and they prepared a guide question to ask the participants. Another

instrument that the researcher used was a recording device to ensure that the

participant's comments are precisely recorded so that they can be thoroughly

Page 37
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
reviewed and studied after the interview. The researcher has chosen to use the

purposive sampling technique due to its efficiency and alignment with the study's

goals. This approach ensures ethical considerations are upheld throughout the study.

The data analysis through triangulation provides a robust framework for

analyzing qualitative data and enables researchers to broaden their understanding

of the subject under investigation. By consulting with experts in childcare and

development, such as pediatricians and teachers, the researchers aim to deepen

their understanding of the technological nanny and gain insights from various

perspectives. This approach allows for a more comprehensive exploration of the

complexities and nuances of human behavior related to the technological nanny

phenomenon.

FINDINGS

The findings of this research study offer insightful information about how

technology affects parenting for both parents and their children. The analysis of this

study, based on the interviews and observations of parents about their children’s use

of technology, produced several important conclusions.

1. It has been noted that many parents recognized the values of technology in

supporting their children's school activities. This is attributed to the fact that

technology offers several benefits for educational purposes. It provides

children with easy access to a vast amount of information and educational

Page 38
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
resources, aiding them in their learning endeavors. It has been observed that

providing children with access to technology is often perceived as a safer

option by some individuals. They believe that technology enables them to

have better control over their children's whereabouts and facilitates

communication between parents and children.

2. The researchers found out that technology has some negative impact on

children’s social lives; some parents stated that their children have

conversations with others rarely and often avoid people around them. The

researchers found out that most children are having some self-changes

depending on what they see on the internet. Some parents stated that

because of the contents those children watch online, their attitude starts to

change and they even learn how to curse.

3. The researchers found out that the study has implications for the fields of ICT

Strand and found out the different themes based on the thematic analysis: THE

ADVANTAGES AND DRAWBACKS OF TECHNOLOGY IN PARENTING and

REASONS WHY PARENTS USE TECNOLOGY AS A NANNY.

Page 39
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this research study sheds light on the impact of technology when

used as an alternative tool for parenting. It discusses the necessity for extensive

measures to reduce the harmful effects of children and parents overusing

technology and relying on it for parenting, as well as to establish a healthy digital

environment for the wellbeing of today's youth.

1. Through those findings, it has been shown that excessive use of technology

among young children affects their social, physical, and psychological

health and development. Therefore, they must always be monitored and

be limited of the time of their technology use.

2. The researchers found out that children’s behaviour and attitude will

change as they become dependent on technology. As such, they can be

aggressive in their behaviour towards their parents if they take their

technology away from them.

3. Based on the findings, technology such as mobile phones is popular

among parents because they can check in on their children throughout

the day and communicate with them. More importantly, knowing where

the children are at all times and knowing that they can be reached

immediately in an emergency gives parents peace of mind.

4. The researchers also found that technology has a positive influence on

their education. It has been proven that technology greatly assists children

in their schoolwork.

Page 40
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
5. As such, interventions and strategies should be implemented to promote

healthy technology and form healthy habits.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. To Parents, the researchers recommend that parent's should reduce any potential

negative impacts by being aware of the risks and advantages of using technology

as their babysitter.

2. To Educator, the researchers recommend that if educators teach about the

benefits of technology as a babysitter, educator can also assist in developing rules

and regulations for utilizing technology in the classroom and educating kids on how

technology impacts them.

3. To Pediatricians, based on the findings, the researchers recommend that a study

like this can inform them about the risk related to children's excessive screen use, and

the knowledge they gained could help motivate kids, families, and other people to

use media properly.

4. To Children, based on the findings, the researchers recommend that children

should enhance their comprehension regarding on benefits and drawbacks of using

technology so that they can develop their social habits positively.

5. To Technology companies and developers, based on finding, the research

recommends that tech companies should make technology products that are age-

Page 41
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
appropriate and practical, so technology companies would be more responsible

and their products would be beneficial.

6. To Future researchers, this study provides a foundation for further exploration and

study in the field of child development and technology that could let them

understand the issues and provide them with awareness.

tama sa retina.

RESEARCHER: Meron po bang posibleng impluwensya ang gadget or technology sa

paglaki ng bata?

anong nakikita nila don gaya ng magpapabili sila pag dimo sila nabilhan mag
kakaroon yun ng epekto sa kanilang mental health at sa kanilang social development
naman po yung iba nagiging anti-social kase mas gusto nila mag gadget kesa

Teacher 1

Page 73
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
RESEARCHER: Meron po ba kayong napapansin na maganda pong epekto ng
teknolohiya sa mga estudyante para po sa kanilang education?

TEACHER 1: Actually ang nakikita ko lagi ay negative eh kase lalo sa ganitong

sitwasyon ang tinuturo ko ay writting ang mga estudyante ay kadalasan lalo na yung
mga mahihina ay gumagamit ng technology na hindi appropriate o tama
halimbawa nag susulat sila ng isang writting kase nga dahil sa mahina sila mag english
ginagamitan nalang lagi nila ng ahh... translator siyempre part ng technology yan
diba ikalawa ahh... pag meron silang ahh... gustong ahh... malaman o maibahagi
man lang sa klase na kumbaga experience hindi pa nila maisip ang ginagawa nila
tumitingin na lamang sila sa internet at saka nila sinasabi yon kahit di nila original na
idea so parang hindi tama yon diba it has to be something coming from their mind
not directly found the a... influence of technology ganon.

RESEARCHER: Sa mga bata pong estudyante, sa tingin niyo po ba, pwedeng

magbago ang kanilang attitude and behavior dahil po sa exposure nila sa
technology?

TEACHER 1: Okay, negatively and positively, meron silang makukuha jan na maganda,
magkakaron sila ng magandang changes kung ang natutunan nila at nakuha nila sa
internet ay talagang very informative at makakapag pabago ng kanilang ways
ahh...Negatively ang magiging epekto sakanila ng pag gamit ng mga ng
technologies mag dedepend nalang sila ng mag dedepend sa technology like as
you can see it from most of the student these days pagawin mo lang ng isang
simpleng sentence, sentence na nga lang hahanapin pa ang cellphone para mag
hanap ng translator that is techn ology okay what more if you are going to ask them
to do a research what are they going to do they will just seek the help of their uncle
google para sa mga bagay na hindi nila kaya ma produce yon.

Teacher 2

RESEARCHER: Sa tingin nyopo pano napapadali ng teknolohiya ang pagiging

estudyante?

TEACHER 2: Ahh… sa sarili kong pananaw napapadali ito sa pamamagitan lamang

ng walang kahirap hirap silang mag ano magsaliksik dahil punta lamang sila don sa
website na google then ilalagay lang nila o hahanapin lang nila yung exact na

Page 74
 Philippine Technological Institute of
Science Arts and Trade
pangalan o title, madali ng, madali ng mahanap yung kasagutan kung meron mang
katanungan.

RESEARCHER: May mga masasamang bagay poba na maidudulot ang teknolohiya sa

pagaaral ng isang estudyante?

TEACHER 2: Para sa akin oo meron, unang una natututong.. natututo ahhmm.

Natuturuan ang mga kabataan maging tamad dahil kumbaga dun na lamang naka
pokus, hindi na gaano ahhmm.. binabasa o hindi na gaanong pinagaaralan kung
ano batalaga yung nilalaman. Halimbawa pag nagsasaliksik ka.. halimbawa may
takdang aralin kayo sa english hindi na gaano ninyo binubusisi kasi alam nyo ay eto
nayon na galing sa makabagong teknolohiya.
