“…For most parents, these practices amounted to finding ways to give their teenage son or daughter a certain level of autonomy, for instance, by providing space for discussion, looking for ways to reach a common agreement, establishing a climate of trust, explaining the rationale behind decisions, and relying on monitoring rather than proactive restrictions. This finding is also in line with previous research that has suggested that Belgian families find a balance between enabling and restrictive mediation (Mostmans, 2016;Symons et al, 2017;Zaman et al, 2016) and that in families characterized by a harmonious relationship between parents and children, parents are more likely to explain the rationale for their media education and to monitor their children's digital media use (Padilla-Walker et al, 2012). Many Western parents initiate discussions with their teens and monitor their online use without necessarily intervening, which is likely to afford autonomy and selfcorrective behaviors (Wisniewski et al, 2015, p. 312).…”

Although gambling-related behavior develops in preadolescence, there is a scarcity of research into the early socialization processes in this specific age cohort. For this study, preadolescents’ early perceptions of and practices relating to games of chance, gambling, and video gaming were explored. To account for the perspectives of preadolescents and their parents, we administered semi-structured in-depth interviews with elicitation prompts to 10 Flemish (i.e., Belgian) families with 11- to 12-year-olds. The findings show that different socialization dynamics are at play for the examined media genres. Families were relaxed about young people’s involvement in traditional games of chance activities in a familiar context, pointing to early socialization and cultural normalization dynamics in preadolescents who have not yet reached the legal minimum age. Moreover, the parents were not fully aware of the first gambling and games of chance activities of the preadolescents or of some of their in-game micropayments. They did not yet consider active mediation on these matters to be relevant. Because of this, preventive parental mediation efforts cannot reach their full potential; we call upon future researchers to explore ludoliteracy programs that can increase the resilience of young players in a world of increasingly converged media entertainment.Résumé Malgré le fait que les comportements de jeu se développent durant la préadolescence, il existe peu de recherches sur les processus de socialisation précoce au sein de cette cohorte particulière. Cette étude explore et contextualise les perceptions et les pratiques de jeunes préadolescents en matière de jeux de hasard, de jeux d’argent et de jeux vidéo. Dans le but de sonder le point de vue à la fois des jeunes et de leurs parents, nous avons mené des entrevues semi-dirigées approfondies, comportant des questions incitatives, auprès de 10 familles flamandes (c’est-à-dire belges) comptant des jeunes de 11 à 12 ans. Selon nos résultats, différentes dynamiques de socialisation opèrent selon le genre de média. Les parents voient d’un bon œil la pratique des jeux de hasard classiques au sein du cercle familial, ce qui indique une dynamique de socialisation précoce et de normalisation culturelle chez les préadolescents qui n’ont pas encore atteint l’âge minimum légal. Par ailleurs, les parents sondés n’étaient pas pleinement conscients des premiers jeux de hasard et d’argent pratiqués par leurs préadolescents ni de certains micropaiements qu’ils avaient effectués. Ils ne considéraient pas encore comme pertinente l’idée d’intervenir activement sur ces questions. Puisque les efforts des parents en matière de prévention n’atteignent pas pleinement leur but, les recherches futures devraient s’intéresser aux programmes de ludo-littératie destinés à améliorer la résilience des jeunes joueurs dans un monde de divertissement médiatique caractérisé par une convergence grandissante.

“…Moreover, Mostmans et al (2014) found that children were actually very careful when posting pictures of others online that could be embarrassing or hurtful. In other research, Mostmans (2016) showed how children even question parental authority when it comes to sharing pictures that are of their concern. To manage privacy Kumar et al (2017) found three main strategies.…”

In privacy research, much attention has been devoted to the online privacy practices of adolescents and college youth. Less is known about the privacy management of children and Muslim children in particular. In this study, we gave a voice to Muslim children in the northern Dutch-speaking region of Belgium, and how they negotiate information about their Muslim culture and identity using focus groups and interviews. The empirical studies clarify how different privacy management strategies are used to manage and hide Islam-related information. Overall, our results illustrate how besides managing boundaries around the self, Muslim children take into account the minority group they belong to as well as the representation of that particular group when sharing information. Building further on Petronio’s communication privacy management theory and Cohen’s perspective on privacy as critical and playful subjectivity, we argue to move beyond individual-centric conceptualizations to understand privacy of minority groups.

“…En los comienzos del desarrollo de la noción de mediación parental, la literatura se orientó hacia las actividades que los padres realizaban para regular el consumo de televisión de sus hijos (Austin, 1993;Banks & Gupta, 1980;Nathanson, 2001Nathanson, , 2002Pereira, 1998;Warren, 2005). Luego, con la aparición de nuevos medios de comunicación, con la multiplicación de las pantallas dentro de los hogares y los procesos de individualización y de miniaturización de los dispositivos, la mediación parental se desplazó de la televisión hacia todas las otras pantallas del hogar (Pasquier et al, 2012;Mostmans, 2016;Mesch, 2009y Duek & Moguillansky, 2020.…”

Este artículo se propone analizar cómo se recrean las reglas familiares de uso de tecnologías digitales durante el año 2020 en el marco de la pandemia en Argentina. El enfoque es sociológico y el estudio fue cualitativo. Con muestreo teórico se realizaron veinte entrevistas estructuradas a padres o madres de niños y niñas de seis a nueve años de edad, de escuelas públicas y privadas del área metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Se estudiaron las mediaciones parentales, entendidas como las estrategias de gestión del vínculo de los niños con las tecnologías digitales, con relación al uso de dispositivos, la distribución de tareas domésticas y con el género. Se plantea que se han modificado las modalidades de mediación en diálogo con resultados de investigaciones previas que se exponen y comparan. La pandemia modificó la forma de pensar y gestionar los permisos y los límites de la conectividad de niños y niñas.
