Download or read book The Role of Social Media in Today s Parenting written by Tessa Dillon and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to explore where parents of young children find information about child-rearing issues and whether social media has any impact in their decision-making process. Social media has given rise to specialty parent groups that parents can go to for instant information, advice or support, but does experience trump expertise when it comes to raising children? Previous research shows that today's parents want to get information on their own schedule, have time to think through what they learn and be able to talk about the decision with others. The literature review describes why parents turn to social media instead of more traditional sources, who accesses and uses social media for parental information, and what information they are looking for, along with its effectiveness. The anonymous, mixed methods study was sent out via survey to four different social media groups to parents across Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Part one of the survey addressed demographic information and parents' involvement and experiences with parent oriented sub-groups on Facebook. The second part used short answer questions to examine respondents' perceptions about where they received the most useful information regarding their children, where they plan to turn the next time an issue arises, and why they do or do not use social media to find support, and advice or information from other parents. Findings from this research indicates that mothers in their early thirties who do not work outside the home are the most likely to use a Facebook parent group to find information on their children and parenting, as well as the most likely to find the information they receive to be effective. Across all demographics present in this study, parents overwhelmingly respond that Facebook is the first place they will search the next time they have an issue or question. One overall theme that emerged from both the previous research and the data from this survey is the concept of support for parents with young children. This is one reason that so many turn to social media instead of more traditional sources like their parents, friends or doctors because they want immediate support. In this sense, it is clear that parenting experience overrides expertise in the eyes of today's parents.(--leaves ii-iii).

Download or read book Digital citizenship education from a parent s perspective written by Janice Richardson and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A majority of parents today are grappling with issues such as privacy, digital footprints and bullying. Where do they turn to find reliable information? When should they intervene in their children’s online activities? What is their role in ensuring that their children master the values, attitudes, skills and knowledge they need to actively, effectively engage with society? In 2020, the Council of Europe conducted a survey to better understand the views of parents on digital citizenship education and the concerns they have about their children’s use of digital technology. More than 21 000 parents in 47 countries responded to the survey, which was followed up by interviews in 2020 and 2021. Digital citizenship education from a parent’s perspective maps the needs and reflections of parents as they strive to ensure the well-being of their children and help them become competent digital citizens, who are empowered by digital technology rather than shaped by it. Conducted in the midst of school closures during the Covid-19 pandemic, the study documents parents’ experience when they stepped up as primary educators, often with little or no guidance from schools and inadequate digital equipment to cover their children’s needs. It aims to foster debate between parents, educators, researchers and policy makers on the meaning and challenges of digital citizenship education for children growing up in today’s digital age.

Download or read book Parenting for a Digital Future written by Sonia Livingstone and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the decades it takes to bring up a child, parents face challenges that are both helped and hindered by the fact that they are living through a period of unprecedented digital innovation. Drawing on extensive research with diverse parents, this book reveals how digital technologies give personal and political parenting struggles a distinctive character, as parents determine how to forge new territory with little precedent, or support. The book reveals the pincer movement of parenting in late modernity. Parents are both more burdened with responsibilities and charged with respecting the agency of their child-leaving much to negotiate in today's "democratic" families. The book charts how parents now often enact authority and values through digital technologies-as "screen time," games, or social media become ways of both being together and setting boundaries. The authors show how digital technologies introduce both valued opportunities and new sources of risk. To light their way, parents comb through the hazy memories of their own childhoods and look toward varied imagined futures. This results in deeply diverse parenting in the present, as parents move between embracing, resisting, or balancing the role of technology in their own and their children's lives. This book moves beyond the panicky headlines to offer a deeply researched exploration of what it means to parent in a period of significant social and technological change. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research in the United Kingdom, the book offers conclusions and insights relevant to parents, policymakers, educators, and researchers everywhere"--
