The integration of digital technology into daily life has significantly altered the landscape of childhood experiences, presenting both opportunities and challenges. With regard to children in the digital space, this paper aims to explore the issues that have been researched and the suggestions for future research. This exploration is done with the aid of ChatGPT, while the output generated is reviewed and evaluated by the author. Areas of research concerning children in the digital space include digital literacy, skills and cognitive development, socialization and communication, online safety and privacy, screen time, health and well-being, parental mediation, digital divide and inequalities. Issues for future research include screen time and health, online safety and privacy, digital literacy, effect of (emerging) educational technologies, parental mediation-guidance, digital inclusion-equity, and ethical considerations. Addressing these issues can contribute to a better understanding of the interplay between children and digital space, informing policies, practices, and educational interventions to support healthy, positive experiences for children in the digital space-age.
