Abstract

Our research aimed to study childrens relationship with screens through an analytical and critical reading of their use of screens by going back to the latest scientific theories about communication and media activities and practices in general, and the theory of 3- 6- 9- 12 in particular .Which was developed in 2007 by a French researcher named Serge Tisseron a psychology doctor and a researcher at the University of Paris. He specializes in studying children’s relationship with the media and the role of the environment, i.e. the family and the school, in shaping this relationship and adopting the method and tools of content analysis in its qualitative or qualitative aspect. The research concluded that, unlike the previous theories, the theory 3- 6- 9- 12 does not talk about the effects of the means of communication and media on the child, but rather about the childs relationship with the means of communication and the media, and that the childs relationship with the means of communication and media differs according to the different stages of his life. And that the culture of screens is formed in the child through stages, and that each age period has positives as well as negatives and risks that must be dealt with wisely. Rationalizing the use of modern means of communication and media makes the child able to build a positive interactive relationship with his virtual surroundings according to his age, tendencies, and expectations, and supports his knowledge increase and his intellectual and creative abilities.
