Abstract
Some of the concerns that the surfacing of online gaming and digital interaction among children create are addiction, social isolation, and cognitive and emotional development. This chapter ponders on the ways in which religious ways of parenting can not only provide ways of raising children healthily but also reduce the risks associated with excessive gaming. It examines the significance of moral direction, habit, value-based education and empowering family climate in the acquisition of digital habits among children and development of self-regulation. The chapter sheds light on how moderate use of technology can be encouraged; how spirituality and ethical standards can be combined with the effective approaches to the utilization of digital communications. According to the case studies, the religiously-controlled interventions proved to be efficient in reducing the screen time, enhancing family communication and promoting prosocial behaviors, resilience, and well-being.
