1. Nelson particularly highlights the way in which technologies themselves and specific brands thereof now characterise the experience of contemporary parenthood as has been argued on this blog, ‘parents are now digital natives too, with many reasons to love parenting in the digital age. In their wish to be ever-present, constantly attuned parents and who would risk the accusation of being otherwise, when so much is at stake?, many parents have embraced technologies such as baby monitors and mobile phones to adopt a state of ‘hyper-vigilance’, often extending long past their children’s infancy into adulthood . The irony is, that not only are these technologies financially expensive, but they do little to alleviate the anxiety they promise to. If anything, they extend and intensify it.
2. Nelson predicts that the reluctance on the part of professional middle-class parents to use monitoring technologies like the child locator will disappear and be reformulated into a narrative of attentive parenting. In spite of some push back from groups such as free range kids, she sees that ‘hovering’ is here to stay because it has its roots in parental perceptions of the burden for keeping children safe and secure, as well as the consequences of educational and occupational failure more widely. In sum, unless we start seeing children’s outcomes as a community responsibility, it is likely that control and the technologies to enable that is here to stay.
3. Baby monitors have become a necessity of modern parenting across all incomes. And Nelson finds the patterns these items set in place—the obligation of constant parental surveillance, fear of unknown risks, instant response at the smallest sign of discomfort—to be the same characteristics at play in helicopter parents of teenagers. Baby monitors train parents to “believe it is their obligation to be always available to meet the needs of their infants as soon as those needs are expressed,” she writes. The same goes for cellphones in the teen years.
