dc.subject	This thesis analyzes how digital parental control impacts child development, contrasting past independence with modern connectivity. Through mixed methods and intergenerational interviews, it examines how surveillance alters trust and autonomy within the parent-child dynamic. The study explores the tension between safety and privacy to propose an ethical framework for digital tracking, balancing parental protection with a child’s growing need for independence.
