Abstract: We report on influences on Azerbaijani families' parental mediation strategies for managing young children's digital practices at home. Data were gathered with five families in 2019 and 2023 using the Living Journals approach. Both fathers and mothers revealed the influences of gender and cultural norms on parental mediation. Fathers held legislative power by making decisions about rules; mothers exercised executive power by implementing those rules but found the process of mediation to be in tension with their desire to be accepted as a 'good mother'. The study revealed social and cultural influences on parents' mediation strategies that differ from those identified in countries in the Global North. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
