“…In turn, distracted parents may have children that form a more insecure attachment with the parent. These concerns have been raised by a number of researchers (e.g., McDaniel & Coyne, ; Radesky & Christakis, ; Stupica, ), although no research has directly linked parent phone distraction with child attachment security as of yet.…”

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.

“…Another interesting piece of evidence deals with sports performance. In observational data, it was found that children perform better at sports when their parents paid attention to them and worse when their parents used their phone (Stupica, ).…”

“…While there is a growing interest in the effects of technology on parent-child interactions, research has primarily focused on the consequences of parents' digital distraction for children's developmental processes (e.g., Radesky et al, 2014;Stupica, 2016). Research on the effects of digital distraction on parents' own experience with their children is much scarcer, with only a few qualitative and ethnographic studies shedding some light on this topic (e.g., Blackwell, Gardiner, & Schoenebeck, 2016;Mazmanian & Lanette, 2017).…”

Smartphones distract parents from cultivating feelings of connection when spending time with their children

In the U.S., 95% of smartphone users admit to having used their smartphones during their latest social gathering. Although smartphones are designed to connect us with others, such smartphone use may create a source of distraction that disconnects us from the people in our immediate social environment. Focusing on one fundamental social relationship-between parents and their children-we examined whether smartphones made parents feel distracted, thereby undermining key benefits parents reap when spending time with their children. Ina field experiment at a science museum (Study 1), we randomly assigned parents to use their phones frequently or infrequently. Frequent phone use led parents to feel more distracted, which in turn impaired feelings of social connection and the meaning that parents derived when spending time with their children. In an additional weeklong diary study (Study 2), we found further evidence that smartphones can distract parents from reaping a sense of social connection when spending time with their children. These studies suggest that being constantly connected to the Internet may carry subtle costs for the fabric of social life.

“…A new line of research investigates the link between media use of parents and behavioral difficulties of children. In cross-sectional studies, parent mobile technology use in the presence of the child has been shown to be associated with lower parental responsiveness, sensitivity, and attention [13,14], with more hostility [15], and, possibly as a consequence, with more risky and less attentive behavior in children [16,17]. Media use of mothers could also be linked to media use of children [18,19].…”

The present study investigated the associations of media use of children, media use of mothers, and parent-child interactions with behavioral strengths and difficulties in children. Screen time of 553 2- to 9-year-old children and their mothers were indicated by the daily durations of their TV/games console/computer/mobile phone use. The amount of parent–child interaction was indicated by the frequencies of shared activities at home. Behavioral strengths and difficulties of children were investigated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Children whose mothers reported high screen times (>/= 5 h/day) were significantly more likely to show high screen times (>/= 2 h/day). High screen time of children was associated with more conduct problems, more symptoms of hyperactivity/inattention and less prosocial behavior. High screen time of mothers was associated with emotional problems, conduct problems, and symptoms of hyperactivity/inattention. In contrast, a higher frequency of parent–child interactions was associated with fewer conduct problems, fewer peer-relationship problems, and more prosocial behavior of children. Children might use the media behavior of their mothers as a role model for their own media use. Furthermore, the findings suggest that media use of children and mothers and parent–child interaction contribute independently to behavioral strengths and difficulties of children.
