养育子女是一项复杂而充满道德的工作，尤其是在我们这个技术饱和的世界里。流行文化、新闻文章和儿童团体经常建议父母应该监督和控制孩子与媒体的接触。因此，鼓励家长在技术暴露、屏幕时间和访问内容方面建立明确的规则。HCI育儿研究倾向于反映这些一般信息，并且通常假设媒体“规则”是家庭的规范，或者至少是目标。通过对九个家庭进行为期两年的民族志研究，我们发现技术规则的存在并不像文学和主流媒体所暗示的那样直截了当地。特别是，我们的数据表明，媒体规则在家庭之间和家庭内部变化很大，在实践中经常被破坏，更多的是围绕曝光而不是内容。此外，我们发现围绕媒体使用的各种家庭政策的动力与规则在实践中的制定方式有关。考虑到本研究中父母在协商媒体使用和曝光方面的情感赌注，我们认为设计师在育儿实践中采取更客观的视角是很重要的。
Parenting is a complex and morally loaded endeavor, especially in our technologically saturated world. Popular culture, news articles, and children's groups regularly suggest that parents should monitor and control children's experiences with media. Parents are thus encouraged to establish clear rules around technology exposure, screen time, and access to content. HCI parenting research tends to reflect these general messages and often assumes that media 'rules' are the norm, or at least the goal, in families. Through a two-year ethnographic study of nine families we find that the presence of technology rules is not as straightforward as literature and mainstream media suggest. In particular, our data proposes that media rules are highly variable across and within families, regularly undermined in practice, and more often around exposure than content. Further, we find that the impetuses for various family policies around media use are related to how rules are enacted in practice. Given the loaded emotional stakes that parents in this study place on negotiating media use and exposure, we argue that it is important for designers to take a more situated perspective on parenting practices.
