About this Research Topic
Given the foundational development that occurs during early childhood, exposure to digital media has long been a topic of research interest and associated public concern. Media use has become an integral part of family life and meets many family needs. Research has struggled to keep pace with the changing use of technology and the impact that this has on early childhood development. To meet this challenge, we encourage submissions to this editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Prof Rachel Barr, Dr Tiffany Munzer and Prof Mark Nielsen, that are at the cutting edge of investigation into early media exposure.
The goal of this Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made during the past decade within the broad and multidisciplinary field of early media exposure and to draw attention to future challenges associated with this to provide a thorough overview of the status of the field. This collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance.
