This approach not only fosters affective ties but is fundamental in acquiring skills at early stages of childhood (Dore et al., 2018; Ewin, Reupert, McLean, et al., 2021; Takeuchi et al., 2011). The relevance of this phenomenon is even more pronounced during the preschool years, a critical phase in which parents play a crucial role in the introduction to and guidance in the use of digital tools (Kucirkova & Sakr, 2015; Plowman et al., 2008). It is also a period when young children show a preference for accompanied technological interaction, highlighting the importance of active parental presence in these processes (Chiong & Shuler, 2010; Connell et al., 2015).130 p.en080038SMother-child interactionMobile devicesJoint media engagementThesishttps://doi.org/10.52611/11447/9186
