Familie, Führung und Ich: Die Mehrfachbelastung von Eltern in Führungspositionen und wie sie besser damit umgehen können (essentials)
by Sandra Julia Diller Carolin GraßmannFührung ist eine herausfordernde Aufgabe im Unternehmen und ebenso herausfordernd ist es, Eltern zu sein. Darüber hinaus sind diese beiden Aufgaben sehr zeit- und energieintensiv. Berufstätige Eltern geraten daher oft in einen Konflikt zwischen Arbeit und Familie, ebenso wie Führungskräfte oft Probleme mit ihrer Work-Life-Balance haben. Was also, wenn beides aufeinander trifft? Risiken, Chancen und Implikationen werden im folgenden essential beleuchtet.

Familienalltag: Ein systematisches Review zur Entwicklung eines konzeptionellen Modells (Familienforschung)
by Doreen MüllerUnter erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten die Familie als (informelle) alltägliche Lernumwelt an Bedeutung gewonnen. Nicht nur in der Erziehungswissenschaft, sondern auch andere Disziplinen wie Psychologie und Soziologie analysieren die Bedeutung der Familie und des Familienalltags. Sowohl zwischen als auch innerhalb der Disziplinen liegen heterogene Konzeptualisierungen von Familie und ihrem Alltag vor. Mittels eines systematischen Reviews entwirft Doreen Müller ein interdisziplinäres Gesamtmodell zum Familienalltag. Neben der Verdeutlichung von existierenden Forschungslücken zum Familienalltag kann das erarbeitete Modell als Grundlage für eine Operationalisierung herangezogen werden und bietet einen Rahmen für zukünftige Forschung, je nach Fragestellung die wichtigsten Aspekte (umfangreich) zu erfassen.
Familiengerichtliche Anhörungen nach elterlicher Trennung: Eine Analyse aus der Perspektive von Kindern und Jugendlichen
by Annemarie Graf-van KesterenDie Forschungsarbeit untersucht die subjektive Bedeutung von familiengerichtlichen Anhörungen nach elterlicher Trennung und Scheidung. Wie erleben betroffene Kinder dieses Beteiligungsformat? Welche Bedingungen und Herausforderungen bestehen aus der Sicht dieser Kinder für ihr Sprechen vor Gericht? Welche Handlungsspielräume gibt es in den familiengerichtlichen Verfahren? Zur theoretischen Einbettung wurden in der ungleichheitsinformierten Arbeit theoretische Bezüge zu Agency, Generationaler Ordnung und Partizipation verschränkt. Zur empirischen Beantwortung der Fragen wurden zehn leitfadengestützte Interviews mit familiengerichtserfahrenen Kindern und Jugendlichen (9-16 Jahre) erhoben. Die Auswertung erfolgte mit neueren qualitativen Methoden wie Integrativen Basisverfahren und Agency-Analyse. Die vorliegende Studie ist eine der wenigen, welche auf mit Kindern direkt erhobenen Daten basiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, wie die Akteur*innen die Anhörungen, ihre Handlungsmächtigkeit sowie ihr Partizipationshandeln als relational erleben: Konstitutiv gebunden an die familiären Beziehungen und konstitutiv gebunden an die Beziehungen zu den als justiznah-assoziierten Fachkräften. Insgesamt lässt sich eine Skala subjektiver Handlungsmächtigkeit rekonstruieren, welche von subjektiv erlebter Partizipation bis hin zu widerfahrener Ausgrenzung und (epistemischer) Gewalt reicht.

Families And Faith: How Religion is Passed Down Across Generations
by Vern L. Bengtson Norella M. Putney Susan HarrisFew things are more likely to cause heartache to devout parents than seeing their child leave the faith. And it seems, from media portrayals, that this is happening more and more frequently. But is religious change between generations common? How does religion get passed down from one generation to the next? Why do some families maintain one faith while others do not? What factors are likely to push people away from their childhood faith? What role does the particular faith play? The family? The wider society? Does atheism get passed down as well? In Families and Faith, Vern Bengtson seeks to answer these questions and more by drawing on an extraordinary study, conducted over more than four decades, of more than 350 families composed of more than 2400 people whose lives span more than a century: the oldest was born in 1881, the youngest in 1988. Bengtson argues that a child is actually more likely to remain within the fold than to leave it, and, more surprisingly, that parents' influence has remained relatively stable since the early 1970s. Even the nonreligious, in fact, are much more likely to be following their parents than rebelling against them. And while outside social forces play a role, the most important factor in whether a child keeps the faith is the presence of a strong fatherly bond. Armed with this unprecedented data, Bengtson offers remarkable insight into American religion over the course of several decades.
Families Creating Employment Opportunities for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities: Understanding the Contribution of Familial Entrepreneurship (Routledge Research in Special Educational Needs)
by Jennifer PercivalThis volume provides an in-depth, qualitative exploration of familial entrepreneurship as an innovative employment model, being established by families in response to difficulties faced by individuals with developmental disabilities in entering the labor market. Drawing on rich qualitative data collected via research with families, this volume explores how and why familial entrepreneurs in the United States have chosen to develop businesses to employ their loved ones. Chapters offer close analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with familial entrepreneurship and highlight the ways in which this practice supports people with developmental disabilities by providing opportunities for skill development, social interaction, and participation in meaningful activity. Recognizing familial entrepreneurship as a new and distinct hybrid employment model, the text goes on to consider how curricula, policy, and state services might better support families and underpin this form of inclusive work. The volume provides important conclusions that contribute to the fields of Disability Studies, Entrepreneurship, Inclusive Education, Adult Education, Exceptional Student Education, Transition, and Vocational Rehabilitation. It is a key reading for scholars in these fields and across Education more widely.

Families and Social Change in the Gulf Region
by Jennifer E. Lansford Anis Ben Brik Abdallah M. BadahdahThis timely volume explores the impact of dramatic social change that has disrupted established patterns of family life and human development in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It addresses several major deficits in knowledge regarding family issues in the Gulf countries, bringing a critical perspective to the emerging challenges facing families in this region.

Families and Transition to School
by Bob Perry Sue Dockett Wilfried GriebelThis collection addresses issues related to families and transition, and pays special attention to the transition to school, the effect of this on the family, as well as the effect of the family on that transition. It celebrates the roles of families, locating them as integral partners in time of transition and identifying a variety of ways in which families and educators can work together with children to promote positive transitions. The book draws on a range of theoretical frameworks and research projects to provide multiple perspectives of family involvement in education, family-educator partnerships, the nature of collaboration, issues for families in marginalised or complex circumstances, as well as the multiple intersections of families and transition processes. The research projects reported range from in-depth case studies to the analysis of large-scale data sets and all have multiple messages for practitioners, policy makers and researchers as they seek ways to engage with families as their children start school.
Families and their Learning Environments: An Empirical Analysis (Routledge Library Editions: Sociology of Education #34)
by Kevin MarjoribanksFirst published in 1979, this study is one of the first works of educational research to include detailed assessments of family environments in an analysis of performance of children at their schools. Much of the research is based on data collected from families in Australia, Canada and England and the findings have been integrated with results from other family environments research. The study also explores social and psychological conceptual positions that will have relevance for further educational investigations. This book will be of particular interest to those studying the relationship between family environments and education, as well as the sociology of education.
Families as Partners in Education: Families and Schools Working Together
by Eugenia Berger Mari Riojas-CortezEngaging families in children’s education through partnerships and collaboration Families as Partners in Education is the most comprehensive book on the market covering the history of family/school collaboration, current issues and population trends affecting American schools and communities, diverse family structures, and techniques for establishing connections with parents and encouraging involvement with their child’s learning. Among other themes, the book emphasizes the importance of funds of knowledge for children’s development and for effective partnerships with families (the knowledge that children acquire from their families) and the concept of funds of identity as a catalyst for educators to understand their own identity. Throughout the book, the authors make connections to these concepts not only to help educators understand child development, but also to show how children develop within the context of their families. <P><P> The 10th Edition continues to highlight important parent involvement programs and how such programs are often successful because of their asset-based view of families, particularly those that are diverse, as well as those with children with special abilities. Updated theory and research are included throughout the text, as well as new situational vignettes that illustrate typical parent-school situations.
Families at Play: Connecting and Learning through Video Games (The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Series on Digital Media and Learning)
by Elisabeth Gee Sinem SiyahhanHow family video game play promotes intergenerational communication, connection, and learning.Video games have a bad reputation in the mainstream media. They are blamed for encouraging social isolation, promoting violence, and creating tensions between parents and children. In this book, Sinem Siyahhan and Elisabeth Gee offer another view. They show that video games can be a tool for connection, not isolation, creating opportunities for families to communicate and learn together.Like smartphones, Skype, and social media, games help families stay connected. Siyahhan and Gee offer examples: One family treats video game playing as a regular and valued activity, and bonds over Halo. A father tries to pass on his enthusiasm for Star Wars by playing Lego Star Wars with his young son. Families express their feelings and share their experiences and understanding of the world through playing video games like The Sims, Civilization, and Minecraft. Some video games are designed specifically to support family conversations around such real-world issues and sensitive topics as bullying and peer pressure.Siyahhan and Gee draw on a decade of research to look at how learning and teaching take place when families play video games together. With video games, they argue, the parents are not necessarily the teachers and experts; all family members can be both teachers and learners. They suggest video games can help families form, develop, and sustain their learning culture as well as develop skills that are valued in the twenty-first century workplace. Educators and game designers should take note.

Families with Adolescents: Bridging the Gaps Between Theory, Research, and Practice (Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development)
by Stephen M. Gavazzi Ji-Young LimThe second edition of this book offers an expanded and updated blueprint for more consistently improved practice, emphasizing family process and structure instead of only individual developmental stages. Its chapters deftly summarize the recent knowledge base about families with adolescents and explains how to apply these results across mental health and social services disciplines. The new edition clearly illustrates family concerns and theoretical perspectives through real-world vignettes and cogent use of family assessment measures. Chapters offer a broad understanding of how diversity in all its forms – including race/ethnicity, culture, religion, and sexual orientation – has created a much more nuanced understanding of how families with adolescents are able to function within their environment. Both major challenges to families and communities form the backdrop of the second edition’s focus on forecasting in which the theoretical, empirical, and intervention literatures necessarily move in service to the health and well-being of families with adolescents.Featured topics include: Central concepts of family development, family systems, ecological, attachment, and social learning theories in relation to families with adolescents. Influence of the family on adolescent problem behavior, mental health concerns, substance use issues, educational attainment, and social competence outcomes. Selected studies on parenting behaviors, conflict resolution, and other major aspects of families with adolescents. Application topics in family-based intervention and prevention programs. Integrating theory, research, and applications to create a “triple threat” model. Diversity issues surrounding race/ethnicity, culture, religion, and sexual orientation. Families with Adolescents, Second Edition, is an essential resource for researchers, professors, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as professionals and other mental health clinicians, practitioners, and therapists in clinical child and developmental psychology, family studies, human development, sociology, social work, education, and all allied disciplines.
Families, COVID, and Unequal Schooling in the US: Resilient Learning Ecologies, Intersectional Portraits, and Layered Theoretical Perspectives (Routledge Research in Crises Education)
by Brigid Barron Antero Garcia Shelley Goldman Elizabeth B. KozleskiThis book explores how parents became education partners in new and unexpected ways during the COVID pandemic. Emerging from a range of research studies, it reframes how researchers, educators, school leaders, and policymakers can establish and foster more equitable partnerships with families. The authors ultimately argue that COVID schooling erased boundaries between schools and families as families translated, decoded, and reshaped learning in their living rooms alongside their children. Chapters use firsthand accounts by parents and caretakers to contextualize and report on how families managed their lives and the education of their children during the pandemic, before exploring the tensions and issues that arose for families which were pandemic caused or the results of educational disparities and inequalities being intensified by the COVID crisis. It thus reveals how caregivers struggled with employment and food insecurities as well as issues such as technology access and their children’s learning needs. Building connections between research and practice, it re‑imagines how families can be education partners, discussing how schools can carry families’ assets into their work on improving schools during the pandemic, times of crisis, and into the post‑pandemic future. It will appeal to researchers and graduates with interests in educational leadership, teacher education, sociology of education, and the sociology of family and parenting, with additional relevance for teachers and school administrators with interests in education in crises, school reform, and educational leadership.
Families, Pre-School Sport, and Physical Activity: Critical Perspectives
by Philippa Velija Georgia Allen-BakerBringing together international authors writing from a social science perspective on babies, toddlers and pre-school sport and physical activity, this book explores the social and cultural context in which children under five take part in sport and physical activity.The book provides a wider understanding of how under-five sport and physical activity (PA) can be understood and how parents’ decisions are shaped by economic, cultural, and changing family, work, and social settings. As early childhood is increasingly understood as a time when children are impacted by inequality, poverty and unequal access to opportunities, the text considers how access to enrichment activities may exacerbate inequalities in a post pandemic society and during a cost-of-living crisis. The book is organised into three parts, covering theoretical concepts of childhood and parenting, and then presents parent perspectives, and inclusion in pre-school sport and PA from a UK and international perspective respectively.This is an excellent introduction to the key trends and patterns in under-fives sport and PA for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying sport studies, sport management, sport science, sociology, and cultural studies. It helps students to consider how these patterns can be understood through a socio-cultural lens on equality, families, childhood, and parenting. It is also a valuable resource for academics and researchers in sport, sociology, and social sciences more broadly.

Families, Young People, Physical Activity and Health: Critical Perspectives (Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society)
by Lisette Burrows Symeon DagkasThe family is an important site for the transmission of knowledge and cultural values. Amidst claims that young people are failing to follow health advice, dropping out of sport and at risk of an ever-expanding list of lifestyle diseases, families have become the target of government interventions. This book is the first to offer critical sociological perspectives on how families do and do not function as a pedagogical site for health education, sport and physical activity practices. This book focuses on the importance of families as sites of pedagogical work across a range of cultural and geographical contexts. It explores the relationships between families, education, health, physical activity and sport, and also offers reflections on the methodological and ethical issues arising from this research. Its chapters discuss key questions such as: how active living messages are taken up in families; how parents perceive the role of education, physical activity and sport; how culture, gender, religion and social class shape engagement in sport; how family pedagogies may influence health education, sport and physical activity now and in the future. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in health, physical education, health education, family studies, sport pedagogy or the sociology of sport and exercise.
Families, the State and Educational Inequality in the Singapore City-State (Routledge Critical Studies in Asian Education)
by Charleen ChiongFocusing on Singapore’s education system from an equity perspective, Chiong’s book describes the often unheard perspectives of socio-economically disadvantaged families in Singapore. The performance of Singaporean students on international education benchmarking tests has been widely recognised. Relatively less known is how socio-economically disadvantaged families negotiate Singapore’s highly competitive, stratifying and meritocratic system. Yet, families’ perspectives can provide crucial insight in understanding how policy is ‘lived’ and experienced, and its effects on people’s lives. Drawing on 72 interviews with 12 families, this book traces the development of surprisingly close, collaborative relations between the state, schools and families on Singapore’s socio-economic margins. It demonstrates that in the 'strong' state of Singapore, families’ dependency on schools and the state facilitates the internalisation of individual and familial responsibility for future success. However, these very processes can injure, and perpetuate inequality. The analysis presented in this book has relevance in other contexts, in times where advanced capitalist states face growing inequalities and challenging relationships between institutional authority and the wider populace. As socio-economic and educational inequalities widen, this book asks timely questions and provides recommendations on what a more equitable state-citizen compact might look like. The book will appeal to researchers and students who are interested in the fields of the sociology and politics of education, social policy, and Asian culture and society.
