Abstract

The aim of this study is to suggest a strategy derived from Christian religious education to children with gadget addiction in the city of Medan, the capital city of the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia. This paper takes data from direct interviews with children and parents at several points in the city of Medan, as well as data from relevant agencies and literature studies. This data is from 2017 to 2019. Data at the provincial level is also shown in this paper as a comparison. The negative impact due to gadget addiction on children in the city of Medan, if seriously anticipated by parents, educators, and all relevant government institutions, will minimized the community’s problems in the future.
