In the years it takes to raise a child, parents face many challenges that are both helped and hindered by parenting through a period of unparalleled digital innovation. In Parenting for a Digital Future, Sonia Livingstone and Alicia Blum-Ross draw on extensive research with a group of diverse parents in the U.K. to reveal how digital technologies shape parenting today, as parents forge new territory with little precedent or support. They look at how parents often enact rules and values through digital technologies since screen time, including video games and social media, have become ways of both being together and 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.
Please join Conversations with Common Sense as we talk with the authors about their new book and how hopes and fears about technology shape children's lives.
