Media in everyday family life
Even the youngest children experience digital media - whether it's listening to nursery rhymes, looking at family photos on their smartphone or watching a video with older siblings. But how much screen time is actually appropriate for children between the ages of 1 and 3 - and what content is really age-appropriate?
At this age, children primarily want to discover, play and feel safe in their own little world. Digital media can play a complementary role here - but only if they are consciously selected, used together and integrated into everyday life in good measure.
Many parents are unsure how to organize their child's first contact with media. On this topic page, you will find answers to key questions, practical tips and ideas for everyday life that will help you to guide your toddler's media use well.
Find out here how you can introduce your child to media step by step, what significance your own media use has and how you can integrate digital content in an age-appropriate, mindful and family-friendly way - for a healthy start to the media world.
