We can't just sit the whole day watching TVNegotiations concerning media use among youngsters and their parentsIngunn Hagen, is Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway. [email: Ingunn.Hagen{at}vt.ntnu.no] Media use is often a source of negotiations between children and their parents. Children's and young people's ideas about how much and what they want to watch on TV may differ from those of their parents. In addition, there might be disagreements in the family regarding who should use the computer and for what purpose. With new media like cable TV and computers/Internet increasingly available to modern families, there is intensified public pressure on parents to monitor and regulate their children's media use. The purpose of this article is to discuss questions related to these negotiations and regulations.
