The most suitable data collection methods in this survey:

1) Observation at home (0-3-year-olds) - digital camera, dictation machine, notes

2) Theme interviews with the 4-8-year-olds

- Answering questions seemed to be easiest for a child when they were allowed some meaningful activity (f.ex. drawing) during the interview.

- Interviews conducted most often with a goup of 2-4 children, the most suitable size was 2 children.

- Interviews were also made during some of the home observations.5

3) Drawing a ”fantasy room” with the 3-6-year old children

• 23 children (8 girls ja 15 boys)

• In nine of the drawings there were things that had something to do with media.

• Television was most common in the drawings (also game consoles, and advertisement, a movieposter, a computer).

• One 6-year-old boy drew a media tool as well as media content.

4) Questionnaire with the 5-7-year old children

- 6 children (4 boys and 2 girls)

- Fast and effective

- More formal than theme interviews

Writing notes about the observations, the interviews with the children and drawings as well as taking photos and filming with a digital camera

Children’s media relations

• In this qualitative survey children’s media use is diverse and active.

• Parents’ activity and relationship with media seems to direct the child’s engagement as well.

• The use begins as a baby (television, music, books, internet with parents).

• Music, books, magazines and television programmes came up in children’s stories and in observations made at home.

• The pleasure which media gave was meaningful to children in this survey.

• Enjoying with media:

- Gestures and facial expressions

- Movement and giving comments about media shows

- Children told about their experiences

(games, internet use and mobile phones)

• Rules:

- Rules concerning media were most often: restraining children’s playing or television watching.

Negative experiences in children’s media relations

- Connected to children’s programmes on TV, films aimed at children, and some news items

- Coping-means (for example leaving the scary situation)

One nascent socio-economical difference was found in this survey:

Children interviewed in the upper-income areas mentioned more often rules concerning media.
