Whether members of the family are headed to school or work,
smartphones accompany family members throughout the day. The
growing sophistication of mobile communication has unleashed a
proliferation of apps, channels, and platforms that link parents to
their children and the key institutions in their lives. While
parents may feel empowered by their ability to provide their
children assistance with a click on their smartphone, they may also
feel pressured and overwhelmed by this need to always be on call
for their children. This book focuses on the phenomenon of
transcendent parenting, where parents actively use technology to go
beyond traditional, physical practices of parenting. In drawing on
the experiences of intensely digitally-connected families in
Singapore to tell a global story, Sun Sun Lim argues how
transcendent parenting can embody and convey, intentionally or not,
the parenting priorities in these households. Chapters outline how
parents exploit mobile connectivity to transcend the physical
distance between themselves and their children, the online and
offline social interaction environments, and the timelessness of
seemingly ceaseless parenting. Transcendent Parenting further
explores how mobile communication allows parents to be more
involved than ever in their children's lives, leaving readers to
question whether or not parents have become too involved as a
result. With its clear discussions of the effects of transcendent
parenting on parents' wellbeing and children's personal
development, Transcendent Parenting will appeal to a broad audience
of readers, from scholars, educators and policy makers to parents
and young people across the globe.
