The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for the closeness of children with their parents. Proximity describes the form of a reciprocal relationship, namely mutual influence between parents and children. Aspects of closeness are emotional bonding, openness, the role of parents, respect, support, and figure. The scale development stage begins with collecting theories regarding the general closeness and closeness of children to parents. This sample uses a snowball random sampling technique. The development of instrument items is based on expert judgment using a Likert scale. The item design of the instrument consists of 75 statement items. Then after analyzing the assessment by the expert by determining the scale value and quality of the statement items, 20 selected statement items were produced. In the development, the researchers used respondents in the form of adolescents aged 16-19 years with the number of successfully collected n = 80. Researchers used validity and reliability tests to determine whether the items made were valid and reliable. The results of this study found Cronbach's alpha with a total of 20 items of 0.917. In conclusion, from the results of these calculations it can be seen that the closeness of children with parents is very good.
The increase use of internet during the Covid-19 pandemic has caused various problems such as internet addiction. Children and adolescents are less able to use the internet positively and are exposed to hoax news and other negative contents. Based on the results of the FGD with the PKK (Family Welfare and Empowerment) members in Magelang Regency, it is known that the problem above occurred also in Paremono Mungkid Village, Magelang Regency. For this reason, a digital literacy program was carried out. This community service program aims to overcome problematic internet use aimed at parents and children. This socialization program consists of a series of digital literacy counseling and training activities, namely: positive internet counseling and poster making training for children, positive parenting counseling in the digital era and the dark side of cyberspace for parents, counseling on how to prevent hoaxes and internet addiction, and counseling session about age-appropriate use of smartphones and internet. As a result, based on a survey of community satisfaction with program recipients, parents and children were able to understand the material provided. Children are satisfied with the activities of using the internet and smartphones for creative and productive activities. This program produced a number of outcomes, namely counseling material modules and children's creative works.
