25. More pressures for media education “The use of media is a daily question. We talk a lot about suitable times for media use. He uses the phone a lot and we argue because he would like to play games. When he got the phone, we had to restrict much of his gaming, but we cannot monitor it all the time. The amount of media use brings much worry and questions.” (BF, a parent of an 8-year-old boy, 2013) “My concern is when children join social media, for example Facebook, etc. All material uploaded to it is “eternal.” Children may become bullied or it may create pressures to behave in a certain way if, for example, peers upload certain type of photos to it.” (BF, a parent of an 8-year-old girl, 2013)

30. Increasing difﬁculties to mediate children’s media use “Monitoring is really hard, all you can hope is that upbringing and discussion help the child.” (BF, parent of an 11-year-old boy, 2013) “Over three years, use of the computer has increased. Previously, we had one laptop and now we have four. Everybody has a personal laptop, which is open all the time, even when nobody is on the computer. A child watches the television only regularly and does not listen the radio at all. He carries his laptop always with him, at the summer cottage and abroad. When cousins (15- and 17-year-olds) are at the summer cottage, everybody has their own laptop and they play side by side.” (BF, a parent of 14-year-old Jack, 2013)

31. Discussion “We could intensely decrease the amount of media use, but sometimes I just do not have enough strength.” (Mother of an 5-year-old boy).
