Internet, childhoods and social co-responsibility

Abstract

Children have the right to a relationship of good experiences with the digital environment, healthy and with respect to their age group. Providing access to digital media and resources for babies and young children implies a conception on the issues of consumption, commercial use and a resignification so that this appropriation is critical and relevant. This is a collective challenge for all of us – the adults. The school, as a privileged place for reflection and discussion, must act in collaboration with families who often end up yielding to the great marketing pressure exercised on their children. Other social spheres must be co-responsible in this enterprise: government, companies and technology platforms, so that there is a healthy, creative and safe relationship.
