        "summary": "Professor Susanto from the University of Qur'anic Higher Education in Jakarta has advised that shifting children's habits away from excessive gadget use towards more productive activities requires a guiding and inspirational approach rather than mere prohibition. This guidance comes in response to the upcoming implementation of Ministerial Regulation No. 9 of 2026 on the governance of electronic systems for child protection, effective from 28 March 2026, which builds on Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025. He emphasises encouraging interest-based activities, parental role modelling, positive technology integration, and collaboration among family, school, community, and state to foster a competitive and characterful Indonesian generation.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Professor Susanto, a professor at the University\nof Higher Qur\u2019anic Education Jakarta, stated that diverting children\u2019s\nhabits from activities solely involving gadgets towards more productive\nones requires a guiding and inspirational approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShifting children\u2019s habits towards more productive directions\nrequires an approach that does not merely prohibit, but guides and\ninspires,\u201d said Susanto when contacted in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>He conveyed this in response to the implementation of Ministerial\nRegulation on Communication and Digital Affairs No.\u00a09 of 2026 as the\nimplementing regulation for Government Regulation No.\u00a017 of 2025 on the\nGovernance of Electronic System Operators in Child Protection (PP\nTunas), which will take effect from 28 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Chairman of the Indonesian Child Protection\nCommission (KPAI) for the 2017-2022 period, one positive step that can\nbe taken is to encourage interest- and talent-based activities, such as\nsports, arts, science, or small-scale entrepreneurship from an early\nage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChildren need to experience real satisfaction in the offline world,\u201d\nsaid Susanto.<\/p>\n<p>Susanto reminded parents that they can limit and accompany technology\nuse, not just with strict control, but through dialogue and mutual\nagreement. Parents can also serve as digital role models because\nchildren learn not from advice, but from examples.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, integrating technology positively, for example\nusing the internet to learn new skills rather than just consuming\nentertainment, can also be a step taken by parents.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the success of efforts to divert children from\ngadget-centric activities is not only determined by regulations, but\nalso by collaboration between family, school, community, and state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not distancing children from technology, but equipping them\nto master technology without losing their identity. May this step become\na strong foundation for the birth of an excellent, characterful, and\nglobally competitive Indonesian generation,\u201d said Susanto.<\/p>",
