“…When physically separated from their children, fathers used phone calls, texting, video calls, and videoor photo-sharing. Fathers in this study used mobile technology to communicate, stay in touch, and manage other parental responsibilities, which is similar to previous research (Harper and Hamill 2005;Sharaievska and Stodolska 2017). Through shared digital leisure experiences, nonresident fathers and their children may shape their shared familial norms, particularly with regard to the meaning of specific types of digital leisure (White and Klein 2008).…”

Geographical separation of nonresident fathers from their children creates multiple constraints to their involvement with their children. Many interactions nonresident parents in the United States have with their children occur in a leisure context. Therefore, mobile technology and digital leisure may mitigate limitations associated with fathers' nonresidency. This study presents findings from eight interviews with African-American and Caucasian nonresident fathers about the use of digital leisure in their fathering. Findings from this study suggest that nonresident fathers both dislike and appreciate use of mobile technology by their children. Moreover, digital leisure and mobile technology represent a part of their generative fathering practices, and appear to have some symbolic meaning in their construction of fatherhood. We further discuss these findings in the context of social justice issues associated with fathering.

“…Parents are noticing changes in their children's behavior as well. For example, in interviews some parents talked about noticing that their children are less relaxed, more upset, or unsatisfied when the parent is using a device (Radesky et al, ), with some children and teens actively trying to get the parent to put the phone away (Oduor et al, ; Sharaievska & Stodolska, ). In studies of young children, parents perceive greater problem behaviors, such as externalizing (e.g., acting out, anger) and internalizing (e.g., withdrawal, sulking), when more technological interruptions occur in their interactions with their children (McDaniel & Radesky, , ).…”

The current article reviews the emerging research related to parent distraction with phones and mobile devices. From this review, it is clear that parent distraction with phones and mobile devices while around children has become common. This is concerning, as the evidence suggests links with parenting and child outcomes—such as lower awareness and sensitivity, fewer verbal and nonverbal interactions, less coordinated parenting and coparenting, dissatisfaction with time spent together, and negative child reactions (e.g., problem behaviors). The issue is complex, however, as many reasons may drive parents to use devices around children, such as strong habits, device notifications, work/social pressures, parenting stress, and boredom or loneliness. Ultimately, parenting is affected due to displacement of time with children, difficulty of multitasking between device and child, and the emotions and stresses that can come from device use. Research gaps are found and future directions are proposed. Most findings come from self‐reports or observations. More longitudinal and experimental work is needed to establish causation. Furthermore, as parents and children are concerned about phone use during family time, it is important for evidence‐based programs to be developed to address healthy device habits specifically during family time and social interactions.

“…Overuse of social networking sites (e.g. Facebook) may contribute to family conflict due to reduced time spent with family or inattention during face-toface conversation [28]. Disrupted communication pattern may also mediate the relationship between problematic use of media (including smartphone use, online gaming and video watching) and marital dissatisfaction [29].…”
