DIGITAL UPBRINGING CONCEPTS IN INTERNATIONAL PRACTICE

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of society has transformed traditional approaches to children’s upbringing, education, and socialization. International practice demonstrates that digital upbringing is not limited to teaching technological skills but also includes the formation of digital citizenship, online safety culture, ethical behavior, and emotional well-being in the virtual environment. This article analyzes global approaches to digital upbringing, comparing the models implemented in Europe, the United States, East Asia, and international organizations. Based on the review of theoretical sources and practical frameworks, the study identifies common principles, pedagogical technologies, and emerging challenges relevant to modern educational systems. The findings highlight the necessity of integrating digital literacy, emotional intelligence, and responsible online behavior into national curricula to support safe and conscious digital development.
