摘要

This chapter aims to provide parents and caregivers with evidence-based guidelines for addressing the use of digital media by children and adolescents in an assertive and safe manner. Considering the pervasive presence of digital technologies in daily life, the contributions of parental mediation are discussed as a preventive strategy against the potential risks associated with the inappropriate or excessive use of these technologies, such as exposure to harmful content, cyberbullying, and other problematic usage patterns. The text presents evidence-based strategies to foster a balanced digital environment within the family context, including setting screen time limits, carefully selecting content, and emphasizing the importance of dialogue and active participation by caregivers in their children’s digital interactions. By proposing evidence-informed practices, this chapter seeks to promote a more informed and responsible management of digital media use, strengthen family relationships, and contribute to the development of digital and social skills in children and adolescents.
