Prevention in the use of digital technologies can be framed within a general action of promoting health and well-being. To promote this control and well-being, we must invest in education that facilitates coexistence with digital environments and promotes a critical attitude . Some of the key elements that emerge as basic principles of positive parenting and that are fundamental preventive factors are:

• Emotional bond
• Environment and boundaries
• Assertive communication
• Stimulation, support and learning opportunities
• To provide different leisure spaces and promote social relationships
• Education without violence

But to prevent screen addiction, we must be able to influence how our children use them. Therefore, on the one hand, it's necessary to be mindful and educational about managing screen use: screen time, the spaces where they are used, and perhaps even sharing devices to provide digital support. On the other hand, we must also be present and support them in developing the skills and abilities related to the effects of screen use: self-esteem, empathy, emotional regulation, and the pressure to be instant gratified .
