Produktbeschreibung
This book is a companion to parents in navigating the new childhood- marked by smart technology, increasing diversity, and growing uncertainties. While the Millennials and Gen Z parents of Gen Alpha are not new to technology and diversity, the speed and scale of societal and technological transformation can make parenting overwhelming. Here is a book that is more a conversation than a manual; an emphathetic guide than a bunch of thumbrules. Parents can turn to it when grandparents can't be consulted on the new challenges and the internet throws as much misinformation as help. The book walks parents through the challenges posed by shifting global and local dynamics, being surrounded by people who are "different" at home and at work, and the dark side of technology. The biggest contribution of the book is that it is aimed at parenting that helps children benefit from diversity and technological advances and lead lives full of rich experiences rather than looking at diversity and technology with fear. Additionally, the authors have proposed ways in which parents can help their children become global citizens who not only think critically but also know how to acknowledge and negotiate with their personal biases. Showing the contribution of parenting in cultivating a growth mindset that values leadership, innovation, and responsibility, this book will be significantly useful to parents, teachers, university students, and counsellors while offering impressive material for courses in the departments of education, child development and family studies, psychology, social work, and media studies.
