The emotional dimensions of parenting among upper-middle-class parents have not been fully theorized or measured. In this chapter, I employ 60 in-depth interviews with professional white, Chinese, and Indian parents living in the same well-off suburban town to show how parents think about and attend to their teenage children’s emotional well-being. I find that attending to children’s emotional well-being sometimes competes with attending to achievement in ways not predicted by previous theories of class and parenting. Further, within the upper middle class, immigrant Asian and US-born white parents employ different cultural repertoires to address their children’s emotional well-being, bolstering their own group status as they do so. The findings suggest that scholars of class influences on parenting should pay greater attention to affective dimensions, including how parents address concerns about emotional well-being, and how strategies vary by ethnicity, generation, and other lines of difference.
