Joint media engagement
Joint media engagement is an adult and a child using a screen together and talking about it.
Why the term exists
It is the single strongest moderator in the screen-time literature. The same hour of video produces different outcomes depending on whether anyone talked about it.
It is also the reason total screen hours is such a weak measure on its own.
