<![CDATA[Digital devices provide educational and communication benefits, yet unstructured and excessive use may displace sleep, physical activity, face-to-face interaction, and focused learning in children. This community service activity aimed to strengthen elementary-school children’s understanding of balanced gadget use, eye and body care, online safety, time management, and the role of trusted adults. A participatory educational approach was implemented through visual presentation, contextual examples, question-and-answer interaction, reflective prompts, and simple commitments for daily routines. The documentation shows a classroom-based session in which children followed the presentation and several participants responded actively to the facilitator. The program organized the message into practical habits: using devices with a clear purpose, taking regular breaks, maintaining viewing distance and posture, avoiding devices before sleep, protecting personal information, and prioritizing study, worship, play, and family interaction. Because participant numbers, pre-test and post-test scores, exact duration, and follow-up data were not available, the findings are interpreted descriptively and do not establish causal behavioral change. Sustained cooperation among families, teachers, schools, and community educators is recommended to develop consistent and ageappropriate digital routines.]]>
