PENGARUH MEDIA SOSIAL TERHADAP PERILAKU ANAK DI ERA DIGITAL TINJAUAN PERSPEKTIF ISLAM

Abstract

In today's digital era, it is crucial to monitor children's behavior, as children are easily influenced by digital currents. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of social media on children. The research method used was a qualitative approach with library research, through a review of various literature related to social media, child development, and Islamic educational values. The results showed that social media has a significant influence on children's behavior, both in positive ways, such as easier access to information and increased insight, as well as negative impacts such as addiction, decreased social interaction, and exposure to content inconsistent with Islamic values. From an Islamic perspective, the formation of children's behavior must be based on moral values, etiquette, and responsibility, as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad. The conclusion of this study shows that the use of social media needs to be directed and monitored to provide benefits for children's development. This implies that parents and educators need to play an active role in providing guidance and strengthening Islamic digital literacy.
