Summary of Parenting Resource Recommendations for Children's Media Use



The rapid evolution of the internet, mobile devices, and social media has made media use issues a prevalent topic in pediatrics. Because of the exponential growth of technology integrated into daily life and its effects on child development, there is a great need for parental guidance in this area. The purpose of this study is to summarize the information presented to parents via popular websites and parenting books as they pertain to media use in children and parenting methods concerning media. While certain topics are addressed in a consistent manner, there is still a large degree of variability in advice given to parents regarding children's media use which clinicians should be aware of.
