• Exploring play and creativity in pre-schoolers’ use of apps: A guide for parents (2015, methodology): “The notion of informed consent underpinned the approach to the research, with an understanding that for young children, assent must be judged through ongoing assessments of the child’s body language in addition to other potential markers of discomfort (Dockett and Perry, 2011).”
• Picture This . . . Safety, Dignity, and Voice—Ethical Research With Children (2013, background): “Acquiring assent reinforces the child’s right to refuse to participate or to dissent, even though consent by the parent has already been given (Dockett & Perry, 2011; Mishna et al., 2004).”
