The digital era is characterized by open access to information and technological advances that have a significant impact on children's growth and development. While technology offers convenience in learning and developing self-potential, it also presents challenges in the form of moral decline and a weakening of adab (moral values). According to al-Attas, education is the process of instilling and cultivating adab (moral character) within an individual, known in his terminology as ta'dib. In this regard, the family plays a crucial role in education. This research uses a qualitative literature review approach. The research results show that the concept of ta'dib, which was deeply initiated by Naquib al-Attas, has significant relevance when applied in a family education environment. The implementation of ta'dib in family education is not only limited to the transfer of academic knowledge, but also includes moral and spiritual development for all family members. Ta'dib-based family education instills Islamic values, ethical principles, and serves as a moral foundation in the formation of children's character in the family in this digital era. Some ways parents shape children's character in the digital era include providing positive examples to children, providing guidance on the use of devices and digital media, monitoring and limiting time, selecting appropriate content, open communication, technology education and digital literacy, teaching online ethics, encouraging creativity and positive use, engaging in joint activities, controlling websites by ensuring children do not visit age-inappropriate sites.
