Drawing on qualitative research with Australian families, this book explores the knowledges, practices, anxieties and lived experiences of families themselves. It demonstrates that the realities of family life in the digital age are more complex than the headlines and cyber safety advice would have us believe, as parents grapple with balancing their own anxieties and social expectations about what it means to be a ‘good’ parent, with the practices, desires, and rights of their child. It addresses key questions including: How much attention should we pay to media headlines about the dangers of contemporary media? What is actually worrying Australian parents and how do they address these concerns? Why do young people love media so much? How capable are young people of actually managing online risk? What is the right way to parent in the digital age to ensure young people’s safety and wellbeing while minimizing family conflict?
Aimed at media studies scholars and students, as well as parents and policy makers seeking a more comprehensive understanding of the broader academic research surrounding young people, media and parenting, this book argues that parent and child knowledges, practices and experiences must be better accounted for within the online safety ecosystem as well as in policy development, and that families need encouragement and guidance to help them adopt more democratic approaches to parenting in the digital age.
