Support in ECEC Centres
ECEC centres offer both children and parents important support in the form of media pedagogy. ECEC professionals can, for example, advise parents regarding questions and difficulties in everyday life with media or help them with the evaluation of media offers as well as with the developmental and age-appropriate media use. ECEC professionals can familiarise children with the topic of media in a playful and age-appropriate way and systematically accompany them in the processing of (negative) media experiences.
In supporting children's media use, ECEC professionals can contribute with their expertise so that, for example, important scientific findings and developmental psychological aspects are also taken into account. In this way, ECEC centres extend and supplement parents' support with their work and strengthen children's media literacy at an early age.
