This study aimed to know the perception of parents about digital play in their children's daily life. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire to promote the mapping of the daily life of children and their families and to the playful use of digital technologies. As a result, most of the respondents pointed to the Smartphone as the technology the child uses to play/play. The number of losses was greater than the number of advantages, however, most parents believe that the use of technologies for the development of skills related to cognition is beneficial.
