Summary/Abstract: The family should offer a place of unconditional love, knowledge, understanding and forgiveness that no one else provides. Family bonds and relationships are formed here. However, the large and easy availability of digital media and high Internet connectivity affects not only children, but also parents and families as a whole. Modern phenomena enter the parent-child relationship, which disrupt it. They are e.g. parental technoference, that is technological distraction, where a parent interrupts the interaction between him and his child to control a digital device, also includes parental phubbing, referring to the extent to which parents use or are distracted by their mobile phones while interacting with their children. Technoference is a term used to describe what people do when they "phub" someone around them. We will also focus on the phenomenon of sharenting, which is the sharing of information, photos and videos of children by their parents on the Internet. The development of technology brings more positives to humanity, but the biggest impact of negatives affects the family and its entire survival. That's why we want to point out the importance of digital minimalism in the post, through which the family strengthens its bonds and relationships.
