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.
