Changes in technology influence parental practices by providing new tools for communication and monitoring. With the rise of smartphones and social media, parents can stay connected with their children and monitor their online activities more easily. These technologies enable parents to utilize apps for setting screen time limits, tracking location, and instilling safe online behavior. However, this increasing reliance on technology can lead to challenges, including concerns over privacy and the potential negative impact of excessive device usage. Thus, parents must find a balance between leveraging technology and fostering healthy, face-to-face interactions.
