Media Competence in Families The Importance of "Emotional Absence" by the use of Media in the Early Parent-Child Relationship

The use of media in families is an important issue in today's society as more and more families access digital media such as smartphones, tablets, computers and televisions. Families should establish rules and guidelines for the use of media. Parents should act as role models and use media responsibly themselves to encourage their children to do the same. The task of professionals working with families is to prepare parents for this challenge and provide accompanying support. Education and training programs can also play an important role in promoting media literacy.
