Abstract: | Children negotiate their lives through the narratives to which they are exposed in digital, print and oral form. The Rose's Story app project drew on a philosophy that positions children as social agents. We used the social and contextual elements underlying children's experiences with technology to develop a digital app for young children from the Australian military community by leveraging family narratives to portray children's agency. Data to develop the app was taken from a 2017 study involving 2- to 5-year-old children from 11 Australian Defence Force families. Findings from the Rose's Story app project can be applied practically to impact the well-being of children from military families, their parents, educators, and the broader community by increasing understanding and empathy. This article outlines effective ways to utilize a productive medium for children's voices to be heard, as well as identifies potential barriers. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Military, Veteran and Family Health, p. 129-137 | Publisher: | University of Toronto, Journals Division | Place of Publication: | Canada | ISSN: | 2368-7924 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130102 Early Childhood Education (excl.
