Abstract

Growing workload of parents and increased amount of children's after-school activities leads to decreased amount of daily contact between family members. Linking the concepts of calm technology, attention theory and connectedness-oriented communication, this PhD research aims to investigate the type of communication parents and primary school children need in order to feel connected to each other and provide a design framework for supporting such communication with the use of technology.
