As children increasingly engage with and depend on digital technologies, parents face complex decisions about balancing access, opportunity, safety, and autonomy in online environments. Choices related to social media, educational technologies, artificial intelligence, online monitoring, and the collection of children's personal data raise important ethical questions concerning privacy, consent, protection, and developmental well-being. These challenges are further complicated by religious and moral values, family beliefs, institutional responsibilities, and evolving public policies that shape children's digital experiences. Exploring the intersections of faith, policy, and privacy provides insight into how parents navigate their responsibilities while respecting children's rights, identities, and growing independence. Such perspectives can inform more thoughtful approaches to digital childhood that emphasize ethical decision-making, responsible technology use, family values, and the long-term interests of children in an increasingly data-driven society. Digital Childhood and the Ethics of Parental Decision-Making: Faith, Policy, and Privacy examines how parents navigate the ethical challenges of raising children in digital environments, particularly when making decisions about technology use, online safety, privacy, consent, and personal data. This book explores how faith-based values, public policy, and children's evolving rights influence parental choices and contribute to more responsible, equitable, and protective approaches to digital childhood. Covering topics such as digital habits, child development, and religious studies, this book serves as a valuable resource for sociologists, policymakers, academics, researchers, and other professionals interested in the ethical dimensions of children's digital lives.
