ABSTRACT
Aim. The article aims to present the phenomenon of digital dementia in the context of
measures aimed at minimising this phenomenon through digital balance measures, which
are increasingly available in standard Android overlays. In addition, the article provides
an overview of measures available in the form of software, and applications for mobile
devices running on Android, which will allow for better monitoring control by parents in
terms management of their children’s screen time.
Method. The article is a review of selected practical solutions with theoretical justification
based on Polish and world literature.
Results. This article presents theoretical issues based on a literature review and presents
available practical solutions to digital dementia in children. The influences of the family
environment, parents’ awareness, and their viewpoints, is indisputable in shaping attitudes
leading to unreflective multimedia abuse by children. In many studies, the excessive influence
of multimedia is negatively portrayed, despite the many advantages that multimedia gives
us. There are many solutions in the form of monitoring applications that make it possible to
minimise undesirable activities for the healthy development of children and young people.
Conclusions. Parents are the first people to introduce their children to the world of multimedia,
showing them, by their behaviour, how to spend their free time, and permitting
them to use it as they wish. It is difficult to escape from the digitalization of some areas
of human life. Only a fully conscious approach by parents and teachers and skilful presentation
of alternative solutions in the form of valuable entertainment can minimize the
negative effects on children’s development. However, the available applications in the
android system allow parents to monitor time data related to their use.
