This paper discusses findings from a parental survey about the use of touchscreen devices by children aged 0-3 in four countries: UK, Greece, Sweden and Australia. The research aims to explore similarities and differences in touchscreen use by 46 this age group and to understand how cultural and social factors may impact on how and why 0-3s are allowed to use touchscreens. This study builds on previous work published by O'Connor & Fotakopolou (2016) on children's use of touchscreens. Within the study childhood was conceptualised as being socially constructed. The survey data was analysed with a focus on understanding how parental practices around touchscreen use by 0-3s related to wider cultural discourses around early childhood. The data collection method was an on-line survey completed by parents. Parents were asked about their 0-3s use of touchscreens and were also asked what official advice (if any) they had received and what information they would like to have available. The project received ethical approval from the University Research Ethics Committee of each participating institution. The reasons reported by parents for allowing their 0-3s to use touchscreen devices, and what they used touchscreens for, varied across the countries due to cultural differences. However, many of the parents shared the same concerns and a vast majority wanted further guidance on appropriate and safe usage. Touchscreen use by 0-3s is an international, contemporary parenting issue. Pedagogical practices in the early years may need to take account of rising rates of touchscreen use by 0-3s at home.
