Unlike prior studies, which concentrated on elderly care and monitoring, this study examines child-specific monitoring environments, including wearable, vision-based, and hybrid systems. It investigates new trends such as the combination of deep learning and interpretable AI with multimedia sensory input and peripheral or fuzzy computing. Data scarcity, real-world deployment limits, privacy concerns, and age-related changes are among the key challenges addressed. The paper identifies important research gaps and proposes future paths for sustainable, secure, and accessible intelligent child monitoring systems.
