“…Given the potential that young children nowadays can have their digital experiences at an ever-earlier age, parents’ attitudes and beliefs enable or constrain this opportunity. These perceptions may vary according to the social, cultural, and economic diversity in which that behavior occurs (Dardanou et al, 2020 ; Kaya, 2020 ). A study with the parents of 0–8 aged children in the United States showed that their screen use habits strongly influence their children’s screen use.…”

In the last decade, interactive touchscreen devices have become ubiquitous in young children, and toddlers first experience touchscreen technology before two. Although parents have a vital role in developing the home environment as a stimulus for development, they also have conflicting views on the appropriateness of using apps to deliver educational content for assorted reasons. The purpose of the study was to reveal various aspects of children’s smart mobile use at home, such as the frequency of mobile device usage, preferred app types, and parent beliefs and strategies. Three hundred twenty-five parents of kindergarten children took part in this study. The present study revealed that parents seek to support their children’s learning at home via mobile devices. Furthermore, parents lack knowledge about app developmentally appropriateness and need further guidance. We expect the findings to serve as a reference for researchers to better information for parents and create apps with real educational value for children.

“…Other factors include parenting style and socioeconomic status (Lev & Elias, 2020 ; Radesky et al, 2015 ). Furthermore, studies often highlight the difference between the parents’ ideal use and the children’s actual screen use about app content, time limitation, and parental control (Kaya, 2020 ).…”

“…Bununla birlikte anne babaların okul öncesindeki çocuklarının ekran kullanımı ile ilgili kaygılarının olması (Bentley vd., 2016), çocukların ekran kullanımını kontrol etme/yönetmede zorluklar bildirmeleri (Çekic, 2019;Jago vd., 2016) ve çoğunlukla bu yaş çocuklarının ekran kullanımına ilişkin daha olumsuz bir yaklaşım içinde olmaları (Kaya, 2020;McCloskey vd., 2018) araştırmacıların bu yaş grubuna odaklanmasını arttırmış olabilir. Dijital ebeveynlik üzerine incelenen araştırmaların çalışma odağı incelenerek yıllara göre dağılımı yapıldığında, incelenen değişkenlere paralel olarak ebeveyn tutumları ve BİT kullanımının tüm yıllarda en çok çalışılan konular olduğu görülmüştür.…”

“…Several studies conducted in Turkey investigated the views of parents on the use of ICT by preschool children. These studies examined the relationship between university graduate parents' perceptions (Kaya, 2020) and television (Güngör, 2014), technology use (Biber et al, 2019), smartphones (Genç, 2014), new media (Durmuş & Övür, 2021), tablets (Yılmaz Genç & Fidan, 2017), the relationship between technology use and social skills and social status (Gülay Ogelman et al, 2018), the relationship between digital media use and self-regulation skills, and technology addiction (Canaslan Akyar & Sungur, 2022) and compulsive behaviors (Dere, 2022). Several international studies have investigated the relationship between computers (Hatzigianni & Margetts, 2014), tablets and smartphones (Ateş & Durmuşoğlu Saltalı, 2019;Guedes et al, 2019), screens (Assathiany et al, 2018;Waisman et al, 2018), digital technology (Gjelaj et al, 2020;Jabbar et al, 2019), problematic smartphone use (Park & Park, 2021), digital device usage for learning (Sivrikova et al, 2020), parents' technology usage, the relationship between parental attitudes and children's age (Lauricella et al, 2015), mobile device usage frequency, preferred application types, parents' beliefs and strategies (Papadakis et al, 2022), children's mobile device use in low-income rural areas (McCloskey et al, 2018), and concept of ICT (Vodopivec & Samec, 2017).…”

“…Factors related to ICT use, such as the duration of use, media content and parental control, determine whether these effects turn out to be positive or negative. It is a fact that preschool children often need parental support in making their own decisions and establishing a structure in their lives (Kaya, 2020). Parents' opinions and attitudes matter in all aspects related to the child in terms of supporting positive behaviors or preventing negative ones.…”

Content analysis, which is one of the qualitative research data analysis methods, was used for data analysis. The results showed that tablets were the electronic device owned by most children, children mostly used television, children used ICT more when they are with their parents, children used ICT for 193 minutes per day, children used tablets the most on a daily basis, and children used ICT to watch cartoons, and to play games. The observed prominent positive effect of ICT was that it contributed to children's learning processes. Regarding the negative effects of ICT, parents stated that children acquire negative behaviors from ICT use. Parents used and suggested the strategies of establishing more parental control on ICT use, as well as limiting the time for ICT use for the purpose of protecting their children from the negative effects of ICT.
