Abstract

This article describes the views of parents of Chinese families on their children’s use of touch-screen devices in an era of rapid media technology development. This research relates to the new-media influence issue and inter-generational relationship of the Chinese family. It contains multiple dimensional approaches to explore the relationship between parents and children who utilize screen devices at a relatively young age. Our main research methods are questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The main content comes from a case in the interview, which talks about the experience of a boy named Joey from a high-income family as a video uploader. All cases are collected randomly from well-developed cities in southeast China and represent the new generation family mode. Moreover, the evidence in the passage includes practical cases that a kid is supported by his family to express his own opinions about fashion on the Tik Tok and theoretical knowledge. The result of the research can be applied to various situations in the future. One of the most crucial points we got is that the influence of screen devices on kids is diverse, and parents’ understanding of their children’s social or entertainment needs serves as a more and more essential part most of the time.
