Now in its second edition, Parenting Culture Studies seeks to understand how parenting is taken as a particular mode of childrearing that reflects broader social trends. Ten years after the initial volume's groundbreaking publication, the authors once again closely examine how the main aspects of parenting have been established, explored, and critically evaluated. Chapters revisit phenomena such as intensive parenting and politics around parenting, as well as controversial issues including policing pregnant women's bodies and parental determinism. In addition to updates throughout the volume, including those addressing literature that has built from the book¿s original publication, the book features a new third part discussing parents dealing with risk assessment, school closures, contradictory care arrangements, and vaccine hesitancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Author Ellie Lee presents an entertaining, thought-provoking collection of essays, in the form of a journal.

Based on a series of journal entries, For When You are Bored and Want to Hear My Thoughts shares colorful and often-opinionated selections. Delivered in three parts, the first section contains narratives derived from her simple, daily life, gathered while participating activities or observing the environment. The second part includes Lee's opinions, thoughts, and explanations about her feelings and ideas. The third part offers a look at her life and how she's living it.

Why have the minutiae of how parents raise their children become routine sources of public debate and policy making?
