      Use and Regulation.

AB  - Research suggests that toddlers with regulation issues engage in significantly 
      more media use than toddlers without regulation difficulties, and this may be 
      due, in part, to parental strain associated with parenting a child who is 
      difficult to regulate or soothe. The current study sought to determine if the 
      observed relationship between parental strain and child media use in the context 
      of regulation difficulties continues into the preschool years. Data from the 2016 
      (N = 6,976) and 2017 (N = 3,056) National Survey of Children's Health were used 
      to test a structural equation model (SEM) examining the moderating effect of 
      parenting strain on the relationship between child media use and child regulation 
      after controlling for socioeconomic status (SES) and adverse childhood 
      experiences. The SEM had reasonable model fit. The study did not find a 
      moderating effect for parenting strain but did identify a small significant 
      relationship between child media use and regulation after controlling for 
      parenting strain and SES. Additionally, SES proved to be a strong moderator of 
      regulation and child media use. These findings point to the possibility that the 
      relationship between parental strain and child media use may be more directly 
      related to perceived ability to calm their child identified in previous research 
      rather than perception of child's difficulty. This study demonstrated that the 
      negative link between child media use and regulation may persist into the 
      preschool years. Limitations of the study include broad items used to assess time 
      spent with media and limited depth of questions associated with regulation and 
      parenting strain.
