Sumario:This study aimed to understand the perceptions and experiences of parents of Brazilian children from nine to eleven years old regarding Internet use by their children. This is a qualitative study in which twelve genitors aged from 35 to 52 years participated, with the average age of their children being 10.16 years. Two interview scripts were employed. There was no consensus among the parents regarding how to mediate Internet use by their children, nor whether or not their privacy must be preserved in this process. However, they seem to converge regarding the concerns with the time their children spend online. Communication was made evident as an indispensable instrument for digital education. The lack of obedience to the rules imposed by the parents and the absence of parameters to mark such mediations stand out as the most significant challenges.
