“…Hal senada dinyatakan oleh Alamiyah et al (2019), bahwa pendampingan media oleh orang tua membantu anak mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan memfasilitasi kebiasaan yang baik dan sehat dalam penggunaan media digital. Brito, Francisco, Dias & Chaudron (2017) menyatakan bahwa orangtua juga memiliki peran yang penting dalam terpaan dan penggunaan media pada anak berusia di bawah 8 tahun, yaitu sebagai teladan dan juga sebagai gatekeeper yang menyaring akses anak terhadap berbagai media dan konten.…”

As an effort to control and handle COVID-19, the government has issued a school from home (SFH) policy. This policy has forced children to stay at home and carry out learning using digital media. This situation has an impact on increasing the use of digital media and the involvement of parents in children's learning significantly. This study explores the use of digital media in children in Surabaya during the pandemic period and how parents can assist the use of these media. This research uses qualitative methods with in-depth interview techniques. Researchers distributed questionnaires about the use of digital media to 66 parents, and nine parents stated that they were willing to become informants. The results show that in addition to a significant increase in the time to use digital media during the pandemic, the pandemic has also changed the parental assistance and supervision of children. Before the pandemic, the assistance model was carried out more with technical restrictions, in the form of time restrictions, content access, application choices, and the number of data packages (restrictive mediation). However, during a pandemic, the mentoring model was carried out with active mediation through discussions and critical thinking, active together with devices, close surveillance, and monitoring on applications and post online activities (active mediation, co-using, supervision, monitoring). One of the pandemic's positive impacts is the opening of discussion spaces between parents and children, the opportunity to use gadgets together, and opportunities for children and parents to learn digital skills.

“…Previous research on parental mediation of digital technologies has revealed that parents with positive perceptions and attitudes toward digital media are more likely to adopt participating and instructional parental mediation styles, acting as scaffolders for the development of digital (and other) skills in children, while parents with negative perceptions and views about digital media are more likely to monitor, restrict and limit the digital practices of children (Nikken & Jansz, ; Valcke, Bonte, Wener, & Rots, ). Also, research shows that perceptions and attitudes are intricate in experiences, as parents who have higher education, higher income, and who are intense and skilled users of digital media themselves are more likely to have positive views on children using digital technologies (Brito et al, ; Dias et al, ). In our research, we intend to explore to which extent the perceptions and attitudes of parents act as drivers or barriers to the adoption of smart toys.…”

Contemporary homes are filled with digital technologies, and children are exposed to them almost since birth, initiating their first digital experiences at very early ages (Chaudron et al., , Young children (0–8)). This trend is expected to become stronger, as our future has been envisioned around the concept of the IoT (Internet of Things), and the first smart toys are arriving at the homes of digitally savvy families. This study focuses on the digital practices of young children, looking particularly at smart toys, aiming to: a) explore how smart toys are being adopted by families, considering the perceptions of children and parents about drivers and barriers to adoption; and b) understand the domestication of smart toys. Our research is exploratory and builds on the theoretical framework, methodological protocols and ethical guidelines of the international projects “Young Children (0–8) and Digital Technologies” (Chaudron et al., , Chaudron et al., Young children (0–8); Dias and Brito, 2016, 2017, Crianças (0 a 8 anos)) and “Media and Social Discourses around Young Children and IoToys” (Mascheroni & Holloway, 2017). Our methodology is qualitative, based on visits to families including interviews with children and parents and participant observation. We selected a purposive sample of 21 medium‐ or high‐income and digitally savvy families in Portugal. Concerning drivers and barriers for adoption, most children identify several smart toys and express interest in having them. Parents are motivated by the amount of satisfaction that the toy will afford the children and the added‐value in terms of learning or developing skills. However, most parents prefer mechanical toys, sports or outdoors activities and the high price is an obstacle. Concerning domestication, smart toys are still scarce in homes and perceived as novelty, thus being in a very early stage of domestication.

Öz: Dijitalleşme günlük yaşamı her anlamda etkileyen bir süreç olarak çocuk ve gençlerin psikososyal gelişimi ve eğitimi açısından ebeveynler ve öğretmenlerin rolleri ve sorumluluklarında bir dönüşümü de beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu rol ve sorumlulukların dayandığı anlayış genç kuşağın dijital öğrenme ve gelişme olanaklarından maksimum düzeyde faydalanmalarını desteklerken; onların dijital risklerden korunmasını sağlamaktır. Çünkü gelinen noktada, dijital medya ve bu amaçla kullanılan teknolojik araçlar çocukların ve gençlerin yaşamalarının ayrılmaz bir parçası olmaya başlamıştır. Dijital okuryazarlığın önemine dikkat çekilerek, burada, dijitalleşme olgusunun çocuk ve gençlerin psikososyal gelişimi ve eğitimine yönelik dönüştürücü etkisi, yine dijital çağın getirisi olan öğrenme olanakları ve riskler açısından, ebeveynlerin ve öğretmenlerin değişen rollerine odaklanılarak tartışılmaktadır. Bu noktada ebeveyn ve öğretmenlerin bütüncül bir dijital okuryazarlık politikası kapsamında desteklenmesine yönelik ihtiyaç ifade edilmektedir.
