Abstract:
In contrast to panicky headlines about clueless parents and kids glued to screens, Parenting for a Digital Future offers a balanced, in-depth exploration of the realities of parenting today. Drawing on interviews with and surveys of diverse parents-rich and poor, parenting toddlers to teenagers-the book offers a warm and deeply human depiction of how parents' hopes and fears about technology influence how they remember their own pasts, how they parent in the present, and crucially, how they shape their children's futures.
