Young children engage with digital technologies from a very young age. Often this is considered detrimental to their social development as it is seen as a socially isolating experience. This paper presents the findings of an Australian Research Council funded research project that focused on what characterises infants and toddlers peer-to-peer interactions while engaging with digital technologies such as iPads. The project involved five Family Day Care educators and 23 children aged 8 to 36 months from diverse cultural backgrounds, over a three-year period from an Australian state. The data analysed consisted of researcher recorded and educator recorded videos of the children engaging in experiences involving digital technologies in their family day care programs. These experiences were chosen by the educators after attending a professional development session. A broader understanding of the notion of interactions is proposed to fully appreciate and represent the many peer-to-peer interactions observed. Through a social capital lens, there were elements of social networks, trust and reciprocity evident.

幼儿从很小的时候就开始接触数字技术。通常这被认为不利于他们的社会发展，因为它被视为一种社会孤立的经历。本文介绍了澳大利亚研究委员会资助的一个研究项目的调查结果，该项目的重点是婴儿和幼儿在使用 iPad 等数字技术时点对点互动的特征。该项目涉及澳大利亚某州的 5 名家庭日托教育工作者和 23 名来自不同文化背景的 8 至 36 个月大的儿童，历时三年。分析的数据包括研究人员录制的和教育者录制的孩子们在家庭日托计划中参与涉及数字技术的体验的视频。这些经验是教育工作者在参加专业发展会议后选择的。提出了对交互概念的更广泛的理解，以充分理解和代表观察到的许多点对点交互。从社会资本的角度来看，社交网络、信任和互惠的元素显而易见。
