Connected kids, confused parents – Mental Health

2023-06-16 15:41:30

The Yakapa association offers a new opus in its collection “Time to stop”. It questions the anxiety-provoking impact of contemporary injunctions addressed to parents concerning digital education, and opens a new way to support them in the search for solutions adapted to their reality, supporting the child’s autonomy and replacing family dialogue In the center.

In this new Stopping Time, Marion Haza-Péry and Thomas Romher of the Observatory of Parenthood and Digital Education (OPEN) underline the feeling of powerlessness, the impression of being overwhelmed, the loss of legitimacy education that affect parents and educators. Entangled in contradictory injunctions and too often negative preventive instructions, they end up being part of a single logic of monitoring children and adolescents.

The omnipresence of digital technology in our daily lives with children concerns all educational functions, including parenthood. Feelings of powerlessness, feeling overwhelmed, loss of educational legitimacy affect educators and parents who are sometimes even referred to as “digital migrants”. This book questions the anxiety-provoking impact of contemporary injunctions addressed to parents: contradictory information, prohibitions and too often negative preventive instructions. Entangled in these discourses, parents lose their compass, confuse technological mastery and educational issues, to end up enrolling in a single logic of monitoring their children and adolescents.

Starting from definitions of parenting and digital education, a new path is proposed here: that of supporting parents in the search for solutions adapted to their reality, supporting the child’s autonomy and replacing family dialogue In the center.
