The diversity, complexity and changing nature of parental mediation practices for adolescent online use contribute to the failure to achieve a consensual typology among scientific community. Over twenty-six interviews with parents of adolescent and preadolescent children (from 9 to 17 years) of the Community of Madrid, this work aims to update the types of intervention of parents to mediate the use of their children´s Internet, paying special attention to emerging strategies linked to the extension of mobile devices and social networks. The results point to: the preference for a model of remote supervision, or deference, in which parents prefer to limit their intervention, trusting that their children will be responsible with their use of the Internet; model that reconcile well with respect for the privacy of adolescents. A new practice consisting of co-use promoted by parents to generate shared positive experiences that foster the child´s learning is highlighted.
