This article argues that, although research on children and media has provided rich knowledge on the various discursive aspects pertaining to children and media insights into children’s media practices, its regulation and how the discursive links to these practical realities is still poor. The claim is based on three observations: dominance of discourse-based research, the variability and context-dependency of meaning, and lack of attention to the embodied and situated. From these critical reflections, and by drawing on some concrete examples, the article argues that giving attention to the non-discursive aspects of children’s media practices is essential in bringing new insights to the field and suggests such attention should be brought into future research agendas. Finally, theoretical and methodological approaches that can aid researches in better addressing the complexity of practice are discussed.Keywords: Childrenmediapracticefamilycontextparental mediationnon-linguisticmethodologytheorybodymateriality Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.AcknowledgementsI wish to thank Professor Jo Helle-Valle, the editor and two anonymous reviewers for valuable comments on earlier versions of this article
