Press blurb: In the decades it takes to bring up a child, parents face
challenges that are both helped and hindered by the fact that they are
living through a period of unprecedented digital innovation. In Parenting
for a Digital Future, Sonia Livingstone and Alicia Blum-Ross draw on
extensive and diverse qualitative and quantitative research with a range of
parents in the UK to reveal how digital technologies characterize parenting
in late modernity, as parents determine how to forge new territory with
little precedent or support. They chart how parents often enact authority
and values through digital technologies since "screen time," games, and
social media have become both ways of being together and of setting
boundaries. Parenting for a Digital Future moves beyond the panicky
headlines to offer a deeply researched exploration of what it means to
parent in a period of significant social and technological change.
