| dc.description.abstract | This research focused on parental mediation strategies in managing children's screen time at Vision for Africa International. The study aimed to explore the specific techniques employed by parents and guardians to regulate their children's media consumption, addressing the growing concern over excessive screen time. A qualitative approach was utilized, involving surveys and interviews with a sample of 20 participants, including 10 parents and 10 guardians. The findings revealed a variety of mediation strategies, such as restrictive mediation and active discussions about screen content, highlighting the diverse approaches based on demographic factors. The study concluded that effective parental mediation is crucial for promoting healthy screen time habits and supporting children's socio-emotional development. These insights are relevant for parents, educators, and policymakers, as they underscore the need for targeted interventions to enhance parental involvement in children's digital lives and foster healthier media consumption practices. | |
