Parenting Styles and Internet Usage

Summary/Abstract: The present study deals with children’s Internet usage at home, which is a relatively new theme in media use research. In my study, I rely on the research experience gained in our project entitled “The impact of the media on children and young people”. The paper seeks to explain the parenting styles related to children’s internet usage habits at home. Parenting styles feature two components: control and warmth. Parenting styles are found in three attitude categories, which are the following: attitude towards control, argumentation of control, and control in practice. Children’s Internet usage at home is a challenge for the local family model, and this is also reflected in the difficulties parents have to face (different Internet usage competences, digital divide, digital immigrant parents, digital native children).
