Misconceptions and Strategies for Digital Parenting in the New Media Age for Families

技术的革新与成熟使得媒介形态发生了一系列改变，低龄儿童触屏操作日益常态化。学前儿童数字媒介使用对其身心发展有重要影响，家庭数字化育儿也存在三类典型误区：“电子保姆”现象引发儿童对屏幕的依赖；早教类应用软件可能隐藏儿童发展危机；过度禁止使用数字媒介反而导致儿童数字素养滞后。针对此类现象提出优化策略，即提升家长数字媒介认知体系、制定家庭数字媒介使用规则、加强儿童的数字素养培养。With the innovation and maturity of technology, a series of changes have taken place in the form of media, and the touch screen operation of young children is becoming more and more normal. The use of digital media by preschool children has a significant impact on their physical and mental development. There are three typical misunderstandings in family digital parenting: The “electronic babysitter” phenomenon leads to children’s dependence on screens; early education apps may hide development risks for children; and excessive prohibition of digital media use may result in lagging digital literacy among children. In response to these phenomena, optimization strategies are proposed, namely, enhancing parents’ digital media cognitive system, formulating family digital media usage rules, and strengthening children’s digital literacy cultivation.
