Goals
"The aim of this ethnographic case study was to find out which mediation strategies the parents used and which roles they played to regulate the touchscreen technology use of their toddlers." (Nevski & Siibak, 2016, p. 334). "We were also interested in finding out how an older sibling might shape a younger child’s experiences with touchscreen technology." (Nevski & Siibak, 2016, p. 334).
