The latest data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency in December 2020 showed that around 3.5% of children under five and 47.7% of preschoolers had used gadgets in their daily lives during the pandemic. Surely this can interfere with the development of early childhood, especially in the development of religious attitudes. This research is to obtain information about excessive gadget use in early childhood during the pandemic, as well as to obtain solutions and efforts to reconstruct early childhood religious attitudes towards the effects of excessive gadget use after analysis through the Freudian approach. The object of this research is early childhood (1-6 years) and their parents. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research method, which was obtained from the study of literature.
