Millennial parents tend to think of technology as a parenting tool and are more concerned about safe content than content overload for their kids,according torecent research fromFullscreen.

The reportwas based on data from a survey of 1,500 people in the United States. The researchers focused on examining the behaviors of Millennial parents (whom they dubbed "parennials"), the more than 36 million Americans age 25-37 in the US with at least one child at home.

Some 96% of parennials say they use technology to help them parent, with 47% saying they do so to give themselves a break.

Parennials are significantly more likely to own and regularly use newer technologies, compared with Millennials without children:

Parennials' top concern with online content is that their kids will encounter inappropriate themes (62% cite that as a worry).

Only one-third of respondents are concerned that too much online content will lead their kids to develop a technology addiction.
