inclination to put stringent limitations on internet usage.
Enabler parents utilize the least amount of restrictive tactics,
whereas mentor parents use them more.

5. DISCUSSION
Table 3 summarizes the relationship between Digital
Parental Mediation (DPM) and Digital Parenting Style There is a clear correlation between digital parenting styles
(DPS). In the case of dimension 1, the singular value is .274 (DPS) and mediation techniques (DPM) according to the chi-
square statistics. Enabler parents strike a mix between active
