The digital era demands transformation of parenting patterns that are more adaptive and integrated with technology. This qualitative research involved 20 active PAUD schools as samples, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results showed that digital parenting applications can improve the quality of parent-child educational interactions by 73%, facilitate child development monitoring, and create learning continuity between home and school. The main challenges include low parental digital literacy (42%), limited internet access (28%), and resistance to changes in traditional parenting patterns (35%). The most effective applications integrate real-time communication features, child development tracking, educational content libraries, and expert consultations.
