<![CDATA[The use of electronic devices among early childhood students has increased alongside the development of digital technology and has the potential to affect children’s ability to focus during the learning process. This study aims to analyze the impact of electronic device use on children’s focus and to identify strategies used by teachers to address this impact at the As-Shofiyah Early Childhood Education Center in Kedungrejo, Muncar District. The study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive case study design. Research data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, involving the school principal, teachers from Groups A and B, and students as sources of information. The results indicate that excessive smartphone use is associated with a decline in the ability to sustain attention, an increase in distractibility, and low student engagement in learning activities. Teachers developed strategies through play-based learning, sensory-motor activities, personalized approaches, the use of concrete media, and collaboration with parents. This study contributes to the development of early childhood education research in addressing digital challenges by strengthening adaptive and contextual learning strategies. ]]>
