Abstract:

Digital parenting enabled children to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digital media and online environments, while on the other hand it required the protection of children against the risk of these environments. In this context it was aimed to present the online risks of the children in the digital age, the strategies used by the parents to cope with these risks and the difficulties faced by the parents when using these strategies. In this way descriptive review was made. In this context, online risks in the digital age have been elaborated in detail by the approaches that stand out in digital parenting, strategies to cope with online risks of parents and the difficulties they face when dealing with these risks. Online risks encountered in digital environments are determined as social media, online games, and cyber bullying. Parents often put restrictions and prohibitions as methods to cope with online risks, while guidance and awareness raising in the use or use of online environments according to the age group of the child stands out.
