Abstract: 
Children are born into a rich technological environment and by the time they attend preschool they already have accumulated a wide variety of technological experiences, skills and knowledge. This paper reports on part of a project undertaken in Melbourne, Australia, which had as a primary aim to explore the existence or not of a relationship between computer use and young (4-Â'6 year old) children'€ ™ s self-esteem. Observing childrenâ € ™ s interactions with computers was one of the data collection methods utilised in this study. The two fold analysis of the observations, the findings related to self-esteem and children'€ ™ s interactions with computers are the focus of this paper and are considered to be interesting and useful for the early childhood educators.
