This book highlights the multiple ways that digital technologies are being used in everyday contexts at home and school, in communities, and across diverse activities, from play to web searching, to talking to family members who are far away. The book helps readers understand the diverse practices employed as children make connections with digital technologies in their everyday experiences. In addition, the book employs a framework that helps readers easily access major themes at a glance, and also showcases the diversity of ideas and theorisations that underpin the respective chapters. In this way, each chapter stands alone in making a specific contribution and, at the same time, makes explicit its connections to the broader themes of digital technologies in children’s everyday lives. The concept of digital childhood presented here goes beyond a sociological reading of the everyday lives of children and their families, and reflects the various contexts in which children engage, such as preschools and childcare centres.

Nothing is more synonymous with the twenty-first century than the image of a child on his or her smart phone, tablet, video game console, television, and/or laptop. But with all this external stimulation, has childhood development been helped or hindered? Daniel Dervin is concerned that today's childhood has become unmoored from its Rousseauist-Wordsworthian anchors in nature. He considers childrens development to be inextricably linked with inwardness, a psychological concept referring to the awareness of ones self as derived from the world and the internalization of such reflections. Inwardness is the enabling space that allows ones thoughts, experiences, and emotions to be processed. It is an important adaptive marker of human evolution. In The Digital Child, Dervin traces the evolution of how we have perceived childhood in the West, and thus what we have meant by inwardness, from pre-history to today. He identifies six transformational stages: tribal, pedagogical, religious, humanist, rational, and citizen leading up to a new stage, the digital child. This stage has emerged from current unprecedented and pervasive technological culture. Dervin delves deeply into each stage that precedes today's, studying myths, literary texts, the visual arts, cultural histories, media reports, and the traditions of parenting, pediatrics, and pedagogy. Weaving together approaches from biology, culture, and psychology, Dervin revisits who we once were as a species in order to enable us to grasp who we are becoming, and where we might be heading, for better or worse.

Based upon recent research and empirical inquiry, this text highlights and questions the myths and facts behind the controversial concept of young children accessing technology, and looks at the effects of screen-based media on the child in what the author describes as 'digital contagion'. Situated in classroom experience, the book pulls together theory and practice to challenge and rationalise the polarized debate of ICT in early childhood. Drawing upon real-life examples, it addresses core issues at the heart of the role of technology in the lives of young children, offers insight into the common topics of debate and will be invaluable to students of early childhood education.

Understanding Digital Technologies and Young Children explores the possibilities digital technology brings to enhance the learning and developmental needs of young children. Globally, the role of technology is an increasingly important part of everyday life. In many early childhood education frameworks and curricula around the world, there is an expectation that children are developing skills to become effective communicators and are using digital technology to investigate their ideas and represent their thinking. This means that educators throughout the world are expected to actively enhance children’s learning in ways that provide learning experiences with technology that are balanced and purposeful to allow the transformation of traditional authentic learning experiences. Digital technologies can be used to explore, manipulate, discover, play and interact with real and imaginative worlds to allow active meaning making. With a wide range of expert contributors, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the current research on technology and young children and the importance of engagement for learning. This approach encourages the reader to rethink the possibilities and potential of digital technologies for learning in the early years, especially in the years before formal schooling when children might be attending early childhood settings. This will be a valuable reference for anyone looking for an international perspective on digital technology and young children, and is particularly aimed at current and future teachers.

It only takes a glance around a restaurant or in a museum to observe that technology is becoming more prevalent in children's lives (Common Sense Media, 2014; Gray, Thomas, Lewis, & Tice, 2010) and that it impacts parent-child interactions (Radesky, Silverstein, Zuckerman, & Christakis, 2014). The question that has yet to be answered is how this increase in technology use is impacting children's cognitive and socioemotional development. Some research has suggested that this technology may decrease the quality of parent-child interactions. For instance, Woolridge and Shapka (2012) found that electronic toys reduce the amount of interaction between parents and toddlers; specifically, the mothers were less responsive to their toddlers while engaging in play with an electronic toy. Further, Parish-Morris, Mahajan, Hirsh- Pasek, Golinkoff, and Collins (2013) found that when parents read an electronic book with their child they use more directive language than content-focused language and that the youngest (3- year old) children exhibited impaired story comprehension relative to those who read a traditional, non-electronic book. Here, we examine whether the type of toy a parent-child (ages 3-5 years old) dyad plays with -- either electronic (an iPad) or non-electronic toy impacts 1) the quality of the parent-child interaction as marked by the amount and type of language used and 2) children's ability to regulate their behavior using a classic self-regulation-task.

Drawing on interviews with and surveys of diverse parents-rich and poor, parenting toddlers to teenagers-the book offers a warm and deeply human depiction of how parents' hopes and fears about technology influence how they remember their own pasts, how they parent in the present, and crucially, how they shape their children's futures.
