Parents and Media 2024 – a survey of parents' experiences with the media habits of 1–17-year-olds

Title (original language): Foreldre og medier 2024 – en undersøkelse om foreldres erfaringer med 1–17-åringers medievaner

The report examines parents' perspectives on their children's digital media use in Norway, covering children aged 1 to 17 years. It highlights parents' involvement and regulation of children's media habits, noting issues like early access to social media despite age limits, increasing difficulty for parents to monitor as children grow older, and mixed parental views on technology's influence.

Methodology

The survey was conducted from January 31 to April 8, 2024. The data collection used a web-based questionnaire targeting a representative sample of parents with children aged 1 to 17 years across Norway. Participants were randomly selected within the panel and asked to answer questions about the child in their household with the most recent birthday. A total of 2,545 parents responded.
