Abstract

Parenting in the digital age means that parents use methods, strategies and behaviors to educate, manage and improve children's digital consumption and virtual life, as well as use new educational opportunities due to the emergence of digital technologies and online communication in the media and virtual space to raise children. It puts parents in morally dangerous situations and makes it difficult for them to make correct moral decisions. One of these situations occurs under the moral dilemma of "false brothers". In this situation, parents get confused between independence and tyranny, neglect and commitment, authority and power, self-esteem and pride, humility and humiliation in order to manage and educate their children in cyberspace. The correct way to overcome this challenge is to clear the ambiguity of the meaning of the correct side of fallacies such as independence, neglect, authority, self-esteem and humility. In this article, the method of analysis based on the foundations of Islamic ethics is used to analyze and evaluate the fallacy of false brothers in parenting in the digital age along with the explanation of the correct meaning of true brother.
