Evolving media use in early childhood: parental motivations and their impact on child development.

In addition, children’s early externalizing behaviors were positively related to the intercept of using media to keep children busy (although this relationship was only marginally significant), β = 0.24, S.E. = 0.12, p = 0.051, and parent education was negatively related to the intercept of using media to calm children, β = −0.22 S.E. = 0.10, p = 0.022, as well as educational purposes, β = 0.01, S.E. = 0.10, p = 0.029.
