In a time with an ever-increasing diversity of media, media use varies more and more both within families and between families. In this project, we aim to develop new knowledge about how parents and children use and relate to digital media in their everyday lives. This will give us a better understanding of the role parents play in children's media use, and the challenges they face in practicing digital parenting.
The study is linked to the international research network EU Kids Online (lsc.ac.uk), and is conducted by researchers at Centre for Studies of Children, Youth, and Media - Department of Media and Communication at the University of Oslo and at the University of South-Eastern Norway.
This study is a follow-up to a previous study on Digital Parenting conducted in 2019 (the report can be found here). Together with data from the new EU Kids Online survey (EU Kids Online V (EUKO) - Department of Media and Communication), findings from this follow-up study will be presented in a report which will be published on the project web page.
The research is funded by the Ministry of Education and Research, the Ministry of Children and Families and the Ministry of Culture and Equality.
