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.
