As internet use is extending to younger children, there is an
increasing need for research focus on the risks young users are
experiencing, as well as the opportunities, and how they should
cope. With expert contributions from diverse disciplines and a
uniquely cross-national breadth, this timely book examines the
prospect of enhanced opportunities for learning, creativity and
communication set against the fear of cyberbullying, pornography
and invaded privacy by both strangers and peers. Based on an
impressive in-depth survey of 25,000 children carried out by the EU
Kids Online network, it offers wholly new findings that extend
previous research and counter both the optimistic and the
pessimistic hype. It argues that, in the main, children are gaining
the digital skills, coping strategies and social support they need
to navigate this fast-changing terrain. But it also identifies the
struggles they encounter, pinpointing those for whom harm can
follow from risky online encounters. Each chapter presents new
findings and analyses to inform both researchers and students in
the social sciences and policy makers in government, industry or
child welfare who are working to enhance children's digital
experiences.
