The aim of this research was to know parents’ perceptions of their children’s use of Internet, and the mediation strategies they used to promote the benefits and avoid the risks of online activity. This is a descriptive study based on a survey of 186 parents whose children were in the third and sixth year of primary school education. Most parents questioned tended to use “pure” mediation strategies that were instructive in nature, followed by shared and restrictive approaches; one third of parents surveyed said they applied a mix of mediation strategies; parents adapted their interventions according to the perception of the type of Internet activity their children were engaged in, and age. Although altogether no significant differences were found in parental mediation of the use of the Internet depending on the sex of the parents or that of the children, some trends that could have implications for the process of gender socialization in the media and familiar context are indicated. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer la percepción de los progenitores sobre el uso de Internet de sus hijos/as, así como sus prácticas de mediación para promover los beneficios y evitar los riesgos en la red. Se presenta un estudio descriptivo por encuesta a 186 progenitores cuyos hijos cursaban 3o. y 6o. curso de educación Primaria. La mayoría mostró tendencias de mediación “puras” de tipo instructivo, seguidas por los tipos compartido y restrictivo, pero un tercio presentó tendencias de mediación mixtas –adaptan las estrategias de mediación según la percepción que tienen de la actividad en Internet de sus hijos/as y según su curso. Si bien en conjunto no se encontraron diferencias significativas en la mediación parental del uso de Internet en función del sexo de los progenitores ni en el de los hijos/as, se señalan algunas tendencias que podrían tener implicaciones para el proceso de socialización de género en el contexto mediático y familiar.
