The evolution of social media presents both benefits and risks for elementary school children, necessitating appropriate guidance from parents and schools. This community service initiative aimed to enhance the understanding of parents and sixth-grade students regarding the wise use of social media through digital literacy outreach. Conducted at SD Undaan Kidul 1 Demak, the program employed an educational and participatory approach comprising an initial assessment via questionnaires, material presentation, interactive discussions, and evaluation. The results indicate that the majority of parents have adopted a democratic approach to digital parenting; however, there remains a need to increase the intensity of guidance regarding social media usage and the utilization of parental control features. The program fostered an understanding of the benefits and risks of social media and the importance of parental guidance, while also encouraging collaboration between families and schools to create a safe, healthy, and responsible digital environment for children. This activity also raises students' awareness regarding protecting their privacy, selecting appropriate content, avoiding risky interactions, and using social media positively to support learning and communication.
