Summary

In today's digitalized world, children conduct a significant portion of their learning experiences through online environments. However, a lack of digital awareness among parents can adversely affect both children's privacy and their educational development. To address this issue, this study aims to support children's development within a conscious, safe, and ethical digital learning environment by educating parents on digital footprints, online safety, and responsible sharing. Children, who are not yet capable of constructing their own digital identities, have their virtual personas shaped at an early age by their parents' online behavior. This unmonitored digital exposure can compromise a child's sense of privacy and negatively impact their self-development, self-esteem, and social identity formation. Prioritizing the best interests of the child, this project introduces a parent education program designed to empower families in digital literacy and establish an indirect protective framework throughout the educational process.

Digital Footprint Education Program for Parents

A review of the literature reveals a paucity of research focusing on children aged 3-6, with existing scholarship predominantly centered on primary school students and older cohorts. Implemented with the parents of children aged 3-6 within the intervention group, this educational program aims to favorably modulate the digital footprints of this specific age bracket and safeguard their digital identities. In this regard, the intervention diverges significantly from extant literature.
