Giring Ganesha Djumaryo, vocalist with pop-rock band Nidji, said he was trying to keep his children from using gadgets too much, encouraging them to play outside instead.

'€œI have an iPad and iPhone at home, but I don'€™t want my kids to play on these gadgets all of the time. I want them to bike around, play cowboys and hide-and-seek,'€ Giring told kapanlagi.com.

The 30-year-old said he was trying his best to guide his two children in how to use technology.

'€œMy eldest, Zidan, likes to watch YouTube videos, so I direct him to educational videos about planets and space because he loves that kind of thing,'€ he said.

Giring said he also enjoyed watching YouTube videos with his children, as he gained a great deal of new knowledge, too.

In 2010, Giring married Chintya Riza, a single mother of one, who is six years his junior. The couple had their first daughter, Aisyah, in January 2011.
