Media in everyday family life

Children between the ages of 3 and 6 experience an exciting time full of discoveries and adventures. Digital media is already part of everyday life for the little ones - from their favorite film and drawing apps to playful online learning opportunities. But how much television and media consumption is okay at this age? This is a question that concerns many parents. However, it is not only the duration of media use that is important, but also the selection of content. Which programs and apps are really age-appropriate? Which films and videos promote your child's development and which could convey inappropriate messages? Finding the right approach to media is certainly not always easy. The variety on offer is overwhelming and it is often difficult to know what content is suitable for your child. Through targeted media education, you as parents can lay important foundations for a healthy approach to media right from the start. In this way, you can guide your child in age-appropriate and small steps in the sensible use of media. In this topic block, you will learn how you can positively influence your child's media behavior. Grow together as a family and learn how digital media can be meaningfully integrated into everyday life.
