The digital world, emerging in the age of technology, presents both positive and negative aspects for every user. However, it is widely recognized that child users represent the most vulnerable group due to their ongoing cognitive and psychological development. This underscores the significance of parents acquiring digital parenting skills. This qualitative study assesses the perspectives of parents and teachers regarding digital parenting skills. Through semi-structured interview forms prepared by the researcher, interviews were conducted with 25 parents and 25 teachers whose children attend primary or secondary schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the Central district of Bartın province. The data collected were analyzed using the content analysis method. The majority of both parents and teachers defined digital parenting as safeguarding children from the potential risks of the digital world. Protective measures included examples such as children not possessing their personal digital devices, imposing time limitations, parental monitoring of online activities, and open conversations with children about potential dangers. Fewer respondents acknowledged the digital world's capacity to enhance experiences and diversify learning. It was evident that parents and teachers had limited knowledge of digital parenting skills, with a notable emphasis on potential risks. The majority recognized their need for training and educational resources to enhance their capabilities. This study underscores the need for tailored training and media support designed to address adult learning needs, enabling them to serve as role models, navigate digital technologies effectively, establish connections with children, and facilitate effective communication.
