With the widespread use of digital media in our deeply mediatized society, parental mediation can be viewed as a dynamic and processual media practice that is integrated into everyday family life. We therefore advocate that parental mediation should be seen as part of the socialization that changes over time due to an ongoing stream of negotiations, instead of focusing purely on strategies. It is particularly important to us to show that this process is not only situational and procedural, but also relational. In the text, we present four case studies that illustrate how these aspects influence parental mediation. The cases were chosen from a longitudinal qualitative panel study with three survey waves. They were analyzed from the perspective of parents and children. The study itself focused on the process of socialization and its transformation through mediatization. On this basis we demonstrate that parental mediation is a relational process that is influenced by parents’ own biography, by other parents, friends or the wider family context as well as by negotiations with the affected children and their media repertoires.
