Cover Story: This article explores how young children express informed assent in digital research environments using participatory, play-based methods. Drawing on three studies with children aged 5–7, we analyze how assent emerges as a co-constructed, evolving process. Using conceptual play theory and social semiotics, we highlight how children conveyed comfort, curiosity, and agency through gesture, humor, silence, and peer interaction—often beyond adult-defined norms. Our findings offer practical insights for researchers, emphasizing the importance of relational trust, multimodal expression, and flexible, child-led approaches to support ethical, meaningful participation. View this paper
