The purpose of the current study is to explore the perceptions (negative or positive) of parents about the use of technological gadgets by their children, during Covid-19 pandemic lock down period to attend their classes. For this purpose, cluster sampling technique was applied to collect data from 177 parents whose children were using technological gadgets to attend their classes. Data were collected through a questionnaire and were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings reveal that most of the parents have a positive belief about the use of gadgets. Whereas most of the parents are aware of the harmful effects of excessive use of technological gadgets. On the basis of findings, parents are advised to keep strict checks and balances of their children while using their technological gadgets to save them.
