The influence of gadget use on the emotional development of children aged 5-6 years can be seen through 4 sub-variables: (1) self-awareness, (2) responsibility, (3) prosocial behavior, and (4) duration of gadget use. These four variables had different percentages in which indicator 1 had 77.5%, indicator 2 had 74.3%, indicator 3 had 71.5 %, and indicator 4 had 65.5%. This result suggested that parents need to supervise more their children regarding their gadget use since specifically more than 2 hours per day of use tend to cause some aspects of children's emotional development to be hampered incorrectly
