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.</span><br style="color: rgb(88, 89, 91); font-family:

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.<span> </span></span><em
