Paparan screen time pada anak merupakan fenomena yang tidak dapat dihindari seiring dengan pesatnya perkembangan teknologi digital dan meluasnya penggunaan perangkat gawai dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Anak usia dini dan usia sekolah semakin terbiasa menonton konten video dalam durasi yang panjang tanpa jeda yang memadai. Kondisi ini berpotensi menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap perkembangan kognitif, sosial-emosional, serta kesehatan fisik anak. Urgensi penelitian ini terletak pada kebiasaan menonton anak yang panjang tanpa jeda sehingga diperlukan strategi alternatif yang lebih adaptif, realistis, dan mudah diimplementasikan dalam konteks kebiasaan anak saat ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan pendekatan inovatif melalui penyisipan jeda (break) otomatis dalam pemutaran video anak sebagai bentuk intervensi untuk memutus paparan layar secara terus-menerus. Jeda ini dirancang untuk mendorong anak berhenti sejenak dari aktivitas menonton, sehingga dapat mendukung perkembangan dan kesehatan anak secara optimal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Research and Development (R&D) yang terdiri dari dua tahap: (1) analisis kebutuhan dan perancangan melalui kajian literatur terhadap penelitian-penelitian terdahulu mengenai dampak screen time pada anak, tanpa survei orang tua maupun konsultasi pakar; serta (2) pengembangan dan perilisan prototipe aplikasi berbasis web bernama “Harmoni” yang dilengkapi fitur penyisipan jeda otomatis dengan interval yang dapat dikonfigurasi, pengembalian otomatis ke posisi video sebelum jeda, serta antarmuka dwibahasa. Luaran penelitian ini adalah prototipe aplikasi Harmoni yang telah selesai dikembangkan dan dirilis sebagai model intervensi pengelolaan screen time anak.

The Utilization of Technology for Early Childhood Development and Health: Automatic Pause Insertion Applications in Screen Time
Screen time exposure in children is an unavoidable phenomenon amid the rapid growth of digital technology and the widespread use of gadgets in daily life. Early-childhood and school-age children are increasingly accustomed to watching video content for long durations without adequate breaks. This condition risks negatively affecting children's cognitive development, socio-emotional development, and physical health. The urgency of this research lies in children's habit of prolonged, uninterrupted viewing, which calls for an alternative strategy that is more adaptive, realistic, and easy to implement given children's current viewing habits. This research aims to develop an innovative approach through the automatic insertion of breaks into children's video playback as an intervention to interrupt continuous screen exposure. These breaks are designed to encourage children to pause momentarily from watching, thereby supporting optimal child development and health. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach consisting of two stages: (1) needs analysis and design through a literature study of prior research on children's screen time, without a parent survey or expert consultation; and (2) development and release of a web-based application prototype named "Harmoni" equipped with configurable automatic break insertion, seamless resume to the pre-break position, and a bilingual interface. The output of this research is the Harmoni application prototype, which has been fully developed and deployed as a screen time management intervention model.
