Research on transnational family lives led to a growing body of empirical studies and literature. Globalization and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have created conditions that help families survive the geographical distance, staying connected. This is focused mainly on the impacts of transnational way of life in migrant mothers and their interaction with those left behind, while fathering practices during migration have received less attention. Despite the efforts made by parents to ease the geographical separation, often there are changes in the relationship between parents and children, such as the loss of parental authority or the weakening of emotional bonds. The aim of this chapter is to analyze how the relationship between parents and children is affected by the migratory project, and also identify what practices are carried out by migrant parents to exercise parenting at distance.engbook part
