This research is motivated by the low speaking ability of children aged 4-5 years in Lubuk Saung Village, Banyuasin III District, which is thought to be influenced by the high use of gadgets and low parental involvement. This study aims to determine the effect of gadget use and parental involvement on children's speaking ability. The method used is quantitative with ex post facto type. The population is 40 children with saturated sampling technique. Data collection is done through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis includes validity, reliability, normality, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that all instruments are valid (r count > 0.312) and reliable (α = 0.922–0.955), and the data are normally distributed (Sig. 0.116 > 0.05). The regression equation obtained is Y = -6.775 – 0.052X₁ + 0.407X₂ + e. The t-test shows that gadget use has a significant negative effect (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05; H₀ rejected) and parental involvement has a significant positive effect (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05; H₀ rejected). The F-test shows a significant simultaneous effect (Sig.0.000 < 0.05; H₀ rejected). The R² value of 0.374 indicates that the contribution of both variables is 37.4% to children's speaking ability. Thus, high gadget use tends to decrease children's speaking ability, while optimal parental involvement can improve children's speaking ability.
