Abstract:

This is part of a larger project which seeks to explore the emerging roles and uses of technological devices by parents/caregivers and their children in Singapore, particularly infants and toddlers. With Singapore having one of the highest usage rates of smartphone and touchscreen devices in the world and with little research data on the topic of ICT and child development here, this research study hopes to raise parents’/caregivers’ awareness of access to technological devices and increase the understanding of young children’s development in the twenty-first century. A quantitative methodological approach was referenced on and utilised for this study.
