Excessive use of gadgets remains a serious challenge for students in the digital age, including for junior high school students in Padang Alang Alor Selatan Village.

The activities were conducted using an educational participatory approach based on awareness-raising. The materials covered include an introduction to social media, the short-term and long-term positive and negative impacts of media, and the importance of social environment involvement in shaping children's digital behavior. The evaluation showed an increase in students' knowledge about the positive and negative impacts of smartphone use, with an average score of 85/100 based on survey results, as well as changes in the effectiveness of the time management workshop intervention, which resulted in improved monitoring and guidance capabilities of parents and teachers.
