Abstract. TK (Kindergarten) ABA Patukan conducted its online instruction using a variety of platforms throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic. The fact that children are particularly interested in today's technology is not incorrect. This is because modern technology has developed into a highly attractive object with an attractive appearance that also uses touchscreen technology to further its attractiveness. There are concerns associated with using technology for online learning for students' kids. Parents frequently complain to teachers that their kids are getting out of hand and refuse to do schoolwork if they can't use devices or play online games, and they also throw tantrums. Parents and teachers have never received health education about the mental health of preschoolers, particularly regarding the risks associated with gadget use in kids and how to regulate the growth and development of preschoolers. The solutions proposed include gadget addiction screening, child growth and development monitoring, health counselling regarding the risks of gadget addiction in kids, and teaching regarding the development of preschoolers. The majority of students' screening results for gadget addiction fell into the low category (51%); similarly, the majority of children's screening results for growth and development are age-appropriate (61%), and parental knowledge of how to manage gadgets for kids has increased from 69.74 to 77.71.
