In the modern era, the integration of digital technologies into daily life has transformed how children learn, play, communicate, and relate within the family. As educational psychologists seek to understand the influences on children’s developmental trajectories, the role of technology in both individual and familial contexts has emerged as a critical topic. This paper focuses on how technology affects child development—cognitively, socially, emotionally, and behaviourally—and how it influences family dynamics, including parent–child interaction, communication patterns, and the family climate. This paper also focuses on synthesis of theoretical perspectives, cross-cultural findings, developmental neuroscience, educational implications, and sociotechnical frameworks to provide a multidimensional analysis.
