The research method was also descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting the materials was in the form of libraries and searches in databases and sources of internet scientific information. The results show that the expansion of cyberspace has caused various damages to children's education, including ethical harms such as easy access to unethical resources, weakening religious beliefs and instilling doubts and conflicting values, personality traits such as addiction to space.
