<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This volume focuses on very young children's (aged 0-8) rights in a digital world. It gathers current research from around the globe that focuses on young children's rights as agental citizens to the provision of and participation in digital devices and content--as well as their right to protection from harm. The UN Digital Rights Framework of 2014 addresses children's needs, agency and vulnerability to harm in today's digital world and implies roles and responsibilities for a variety of social actors including the state, families, schools, commercial entities, researchers and children themselves. This volume presents a broad range of research, including chapters on parental supervision and control, the changing forms of play, early childhood education, media and cultural studies, law, design, health, special-needs education, and engineering. Implicit within this book is the acknowledgement that children of various ages, abilities, socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds should have equal access to, and positive / non-harmful experiences with, new digital technologies and content--as well as adult support and expertise that enhances these experiences.</p><p><i>This passionate book celebrates the diversity of young children's activities in the digital world.
