Reading Time: 5 minutes Most young children start interacting with digital technologies from birth as families’ daily practices have increasingly become mediated by digital technologies (Mascheroni & Siibak, 2021). Recent research across the world demonstrates increasing attention to children’s interactions with a diverse range of digital media in homes and beyond (Archer et al., 2021; Azevedo et al., 2022; Siibak & Nevski, 2019; Ziemer et al., 2021). Yet there is little attention paid to the digital activity at home of very young children aged from birth to 3 years.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Children’s participation is particularly testing to our adult attitudes, systems and ways of working. This is true in everyday practices – whether in family homes, early year settings and schools, or community spaces – and even more so when addressing power in national policy-making.
