Abstract

In a world where the digital is no longer just a tool, but a real connective tissue that increasingly characterizes all dimensions, spaces and times of everyday life, it no longer makes sense to pretend that early childhood between 0 and 6 years can remain in an isolated bubble or protected from what happens around. The goal of the book is contained in its title: taming screens means facing fearlessly, but consciously and strategically, the presence of digital technology in homes, child care services and in all places where children and little girls grow up and learn. But it also means not being passive or naive in the face of economic logic and the social and cultural power of the digital, activating creative skills and articulated and aware opportunities for resistance, which allow us to consider the physical needs of the little ones and guarantee their rights. The screen thus becomes a metaphor for carrying out five movements: we start from the centrality of children and their needs; then we reflect on the contents proposed by the screens, including videos, apps and games; then you discover what is behind the screens, or who programs and designs the use of digital; then the gaze widens to those who are new to screens, i.e. adults who live or work with children; finally, screens are abandoned to try to activate new ideas and transform those labels that risk no longer serving to address the relationship between early childhood and digital, especially after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rich in data, concrete case studies, interdisciplinary analyzes and operational proposals, the book is designed for parents, educators, teachers, students, social workers, professionals and figures with public roles and responsibilities and for all people who believe that attention pedagogy always comes before technological competence.
