This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the multifaceted impacts of various forms of digital media, including television, video games, social media, and educational software, on children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. It explores how digital media can both enhance learning through interactive educational tools and pose risks such as diminished attention spans and potential social isolation. The role of parental mediation is highlighted as a crucial factor in moderating digital media’s effects, emphasizing strategies such as co-viewing, setting usage limits, and guiding online interactions. Additionally, the manuscript delves into the implications of emerging technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), discussing their potential to offer immersive learning experiences and their unique challenges. By integrating psychological theories such as Cognitive Load Theory, Social Learning Theory, and Attachment Theory, this review deepens the understanding of how digital media influences child development and provides insights aimed at helping parents, educators, and policymakers develop effective strategies to harness the potential of digital media while safeguarding healthy child development.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Dijital çağ, çocuk gelişimi üzerinde önemli değişikliklere yol açmıştır ve dijital medya, bebeklikten ergenliğe kadar çocukların hayatlarının ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, televizyon, video oyunları, sosyal medya ve eğitim yazılımları gibi çeşitli dijital medya biçimlerinin çocukların bilişsel, sosyal ve duygusal gelişimi üzerindeki çok yönlü etkilerine kapsamlı bir inceleme sunmaktadır. Dijital medyanın interaktif eğitim araçları aracılığıyla öğrenmeyi nasıl geliştirebileceğini ve aynı zamanda dikkat sürelerini azaltma ve potansiyel sosyal izolasyon gibi riskler oluşturabileceğini ele almaktadır. Ebeveyn aracılığının, dijital medyanın etkilerini dengelemede hayati bir rol oynadığı vurgulanmakta, ortak izleme, kullanım limitleri belirleme ve çevrimiçi etkileşimleri yönlendirme gibi stratejilerin önemi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Ayrıca, makale, artırılmış gerçeklik (AG) ve sanal gerçeklik (SG) gibi yeni teknolojilerin etkilerini derinlemesine inceleyerek, bu teknolojilerin kapsamlı öğrenme deneyimleri sunma potansiyelini ve benzersiz zorluklarını tartışmaktadır. Bilişsel Yük Teorisi, Sosyal Öğrenme Teorisi ve Bağlanma Teorisi gibi psikolojik teorileri entegre ederek, dijital medyanın çocuk gelişimi üzerindeki etkilerini daha iyi anlamamıza yardımcı olan bu inceleme, ebeveynlere, eğitimcilere ve politika yapıcılara dijital medyanın potansiyelinden yararlanmaları ve sağlıklı çocuk gelişimini korumaları için etkili stratejiler geliştirmelerine yönelik iç görüler sunmaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
