“…While the CHI community has long designed for families, systematic analysis of this design space [15] shows that the resulting tools typically facilitate communication, coordination, family togetherness, and entertainment. Hashish and colleagues created a prototype technology to help children and parents collaboratively filter content on tablets [13], but research on supports for families which enable reflecting on or limiting technology use are rare.…”

Child development research suggests that using phones while caring for children can be problematic, but limited prior work in this space makes defining appropriate use challenging. We conducted the first exploration of whether adults feel pressure to limit phone use in this context and whether they choose to do so. Through mixed methods, we collected data from 466 adult caregivers at playgrounds. We found that phone use was a small part of playground time, yet a notable source of guilt. Adults engaged in systematic and specific phone-use and phone-non-use behaviors in order to prioritize their children above themselves.Our results indicate that caregiver values and self-control together predict behavior and can be used to model phone use in this context. Users' mixed success with engaging in intentional periods of non-use suggests that a design agenda which prioritizes cycles of engagement, disengagement, and re-engagement may be of value to this group.

“…We conducted three design workshops with a total of 13 interaction design practitioners that had experience in the design of physical and social play experiences for children. This expert led design process [20] enabled the rapid development of the game platform and minigames, however, we see potential in engaging the users directly in a co-design process [11] with parents and children [52] as well as other family groupings [28] and across generations [51]. The purpose of these design workshops was to design different minigames that could encourage social interaction between the players.…”

Smartphones support gaming, social networking, real-time communication, and individualized experiences. Children and parents often take part in digital experiences with distant friends while isolating themselves from co-present family members. We present MeteorQuest, which is a mobile social game system aimed to bring the family together for location specific game experiences through physical play. The system supports group navigation by mapping screen brightness to the proximity to various ingame targets. Mini-game stages were designed together with interaction designers to encourage physical and social interaction between the players through group puzzles, physical challenges of dexterity and proxemics play. We conducted an exploratory study with three families to gain insights into how families respond to mobile social game features. We studied their socio-spatial arrangements during play and navigation using the lens of proxemics play and provide implications for the design of proxemic interactions and play experiences with families.

“…However, the attention is intra-family, mainly supporting coordination and communication among family members, see for example the survey of 84 HCI papers about design of technologies for families [7]. Surprisingly no studies analyze inter-families social dynamics.…”

In this paper, we present a preliminary investigation toward the design of mobile services aiming at supporting offline networking among parents with young children. In particular, we investigated the attitude toward mobile services exploiting location sharing to promote offline social gatherings. We made in-depth interviews with nine working parents (five fathers and four mothers) with children aged 0-8. From a qualitative analysis, five themes emerged: the tension between extending and maintaining the social network; the importance of catching opportunities over planning; the difference between parents' and children's needs; the dynamicity of parents' needs; the different attitudes of mothers and fathers. Although preliminary, we believe that the findings presented here may contribute to the ongoing discussion about how technology may support family wellbeing.
