Abstract
Researchers across various international contexts, sectors, and disciplines now have access to a comprehensive array of well-documented research methods and tools for engaging children in research. Much has been written about ethical issues in research involving children, with established procedures in many contexts to govern their resolution. Research involving children presents both benefits and challenges, affecting not only scientific advancements but also the well-being of children. This chapter discusses points requiring ethical sensitivity, emphasizing the importance of recognizing children as individuals and outlining how studies should be conducted. All planned work must adhere to children's rights, ensuring fairness and equity. Ethical conduct benefits children, emphasizing that children should never be harmed due to their participation in research. Informed consent is paramount, requiring researchers to respect children's autonomy.
