“…The teachers perhaps welcomed the support in approaching a subject that previous research has identified to be somewhat difficult for them to tackle alone [16,57,58]. Previous research has recognized teachers as important actors in children's online safety as they have opportunities to inform children about these issues [11] and can shape attitudes and behavior [11,48,83]. In our research, the impact of teachers in the engagement of the children was very visible.…”

“…Mediating children's online safety is an issue that requires teamwork from many parties, for example the industry, policy makers, schools, different authorities, and researchers working in related fields [10,47]. Friends, teachers, and parents are involved at grass-roots level [12,47,48]. In line with [49], we use the term "mediation" to describe the strategies used to manage children's Internet use hoping to maximize the advantages and to minimize the possibility of harm.…”

“…We analyzed comments of the direct stakeholders, children. In this analysis we did not have data from the indirect stakeholders, such as teachers or children's parents (see [71] about stakeholder analysis), while we have already analyzed the thoughts of these other stakeholders in previous papers, see [16,48].…”

“…Furthermore, such paternalistic, restrictive, and privacy-invasive approaches to online safety have been shown to be ineffective in protecting teens from online risks, harming the trust relationship between parents and teens, and can even limit potential opportunities youth garner by engaging with others online [50,[52][53][54][55]. This fear-based approach to privacy protection of teens has led to a new privacy paradox for adolescents [43]: On one hand, adults tell teens that they need to care about their online privacy to stay safe; on the other hand, as designers and parents, we develop and use surveillance technologies that take teens' privacy away for the sake of their online safety.…”

Late adolescence represents an important life stage where children are becoming more independent and autonomous from their parents but are not quite old enough to go out on their own. Teenagers are also avid users of mobile devices and social media and actively use their smartphones to connect with friends and share their lives. Much of the research looking at teen technology use has employed a risk-centric approach; in other words, it takes the view that teens are putting themselves at risk by sharing personal information online, so the privacy-oriented solutions typically involve parental monitoring or technology restrictions. In this chapter, we review the research on teens, technology use, and privacy and discuss why such risk-centric models may be problematic to teens’ maturation. Instead, we argue that—much like it was for prior generations—risk-taking is a learning process critical to becoming a young adult and that teens do think about their privacy online, albeit in different ways than their adult counterparts. We offer design heuristics for developing tools for teens that allow for appropriate levels of risk-taking while protecting their privacy and ensuring their safety.

“…They also tend to have heightened fears around their children's use of technology [28,29,31]. Often, these fear stem from parents' and caregivers' perceptions of online spaces as being dangerous for their children, and therefore employ various practices to protect their children's online privacy [12,16,37].…”

Designing dyadic caregiver-child personas for interactive digital media use

This paper provides a framework that adapts a design tool known as personas to better capture the ways that caregivers mediate their children's use of interactive media. Interactive digital media has become a more pervasive part of families' lives and tensions have increased around children's engagement with digital media. Historically, caregivers have enacted various tactics to mediate their children's practices around digital media. However, the design of technologies for children fails to account for different approaches to caregiving and the relationships between caregivers and children, instead focusing on the caregiver and the child as separate entities. The goal of our framework is to enable designers to consider the caregiver-child relationship by adapting the persona design tool to account for the relationship between caregivers and children. Drawing from prior research from user experience on persona development and communication on parental mediation theory, the framework outlines five phases to be used as a guide to develop caregiver-child dyadic personas. A dyadic approach to persona design explicitly highlights the relationship between two individuals (in this case, caregiver and child). We suggest that designing with dyadic personas enables designers to be more aware of nuances in caregiver-child relationships and can surface opportunities to facilitate collaboration between caregivers and children around interactive media.
