Abstract
The study investigated the contents of the following two latest statements to examine the media use of infants: (1) ”Media Use by Children Younger Than 2 Years.”（American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) , November, 2011.）, (2) ”Technology and Interactive Media as Tools in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth through Age 8.”（National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), January, 2012）. As a result, the AAP considered on the media use of infants from the viewpoints of health and development. In addition, the adverse effects of the background media on children were pointed out. On the other hand, various conditions under which teachers can use the media for infants effectively were introduced by NAEYC. In addition, it was insisted on the needs to raise infants’ digital citizenship. Both organizations commonly shared the idea that the infants who are younger than two years old should not use the media. Therefore, it seems was desirable to clarify what occurs through the interactive learning activities with the media in order to think about a future education environment.
