In the digitally connected household lives the transcendent parent. Mobile media and cloud computing enable always-on, always-available information and communication services, shaping the communication practices and media consumption habits of parents and children.

In this chapter, I discuss the practice of “transcendent parenting”, its manifestations at various development stages of the children, and its implications for emerging parenting obligations.
