Benesse Educational Research and Development Institute conducted two questionnaire surveys targeted at parents with children aged between 6 months and 6 years old (preschool) to bring to light the current situation of media use and parents' awareness. The change over the years can be observed by comparing the first (2013) and the second (2017) surveys. By revealing the current situation of children's media use and parents' awareness and involvement with children through this survey, we hope to provide some tips for parents and children on how to utilise media better. We also wish to think about a sound environment for children to grow and ways of supporting childrearing.
