INTRODUCTION Freedom to access information and human freedom in providing information on the democratic life of society is the most important in the use of media. It should be remembered that the implementation of digital transformation will have both positive and negative impacts (Kristiyono, 2015; Suni Astini, 2020). This kind of case certainly affects the parenting style of today's parents. The role of parents in accompanying their children in the digital era is a must for parents to have skills to deal with technological complexities (Aslan, 2019; Hariyani, 2020; Wahyuningrum et al., 2020). Referring to data from KPAI (Indonesian Child Protection Commission) that the number of cases of child complaints related to Corresponding author *E-mail addresses: (Aisyah Nur’Aini) Jurnal Ilmiah Sekolah Dasar Vol. 6, No. 4, Tahun 2022, pp. 637-643 638 pornography and online crimes (victims and perpetrators) reached 1,940 in 2017-2019 (Ambaryanti, 2013; Widianto et al., 2019). According to experts, the influence of digital parenting is very important because from day to day the awareness of parents in digital parenting is increasing in line with people who already understand globalization which we cannot avoid (Baharun & Finori, 2019; Modecki et al., 2022; Yusuf et al., 2020). So far, studies on digital-era parenting have paid little attention to the context of how it affects children's behaviour. If digital parenting is not considered, then children will use digital media to provide unlimited information. Given the bad impact of this digital media that can make users addicted. Technology can be addictive (addiction) and difficult to change if it is not handled specifically and seriously (Mutakinati et al., 2018; Sułkowski et al., 2021). This study is different from existing studies, examining carefully how the influence of parenting in the digital era is where there are parents who pay less attention to what their children access and there are parents who pay attention to everything that their children access. Previously, research has been conducted on the parenting styles of parents in Indonesia related to children's access to the internet, finally concluded that internet parenting applied by parents in Indonesia is diverse, namely: authoritarian, democratic, permissive, and indifferent parenting (Dhahir, 2018). Meanwhile, research that examines further the role of parenting parents to children living in the digital era with library research methods concludes in the current digital era, with various kinds of technological sophistication so that the type of parenting style of parents to their children also changes (Aslan, 2019). The type of parenting consists of authoritarian, democratic, and permissive. The parenting pattern related to daily interaction of the parent with the child which includes care, love, guidance, and dedication. Daily interactions of parents with children include attention, affection, guidance, and dedication (Kusumawati et al., 2017; Rindawan et al., 2020). Parents can expand their parenting knowledge and skills with parenting education programs. Parenting Education is education that aims to improve or promote parental behaviour that will affect the child's positive developmental outcomes (Blackwell et al., 2016; Erlanti et al., 2016). The old and present parenting styles are different, difficult parenting is described as a necessary evil to be a modern parent, because traditional parenting styles (qualifying as “authoritarian”) no longer work (“Because times ha (...truncated)
