ABSTRACT

Background:

In Bangladesh, parents are crucial in ensuring that teens use digital devices responsibly.

Objective:

The purpose of this study was to figure out the parental interventions along with the implementing model in order to tackle the misuse of digital media among teenagers.

Methods:

Nineteen key informants took part in this study as part of the qualitative inquiry.

Results:

Participants come from a variety of backgrounds and play a variety of roles that all support the same goal. The parenting model was created using the information from the interviews. By placing secondary and upper secondary educational institutions at the core of government action, parents will be educated. This approach was first proposed to be used in the "Generation Breakthrough" program of the Ministry of Education. Parents should be invited to the institutions to learn about the actions that need to be performed and followed under the two main categories, preventative and curative. Technology, the spoken word, psychology, and relationships built on evidence and trust are all examples of preventive approaches. Corrective measures include counseling, assistance with cyber security, legal services, and law enforcement.

Conclusions:

In order to ensure that teens are using digital devices responsibly, this study suggests educating and empowering parents through viable strategies.
