Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. We know that parents affect the behavior, health and well-being of their children, but the findings of parent-child effects vary in different countries. Parenting has evolved into a science with prolific studies focusing on how and why parents behave in a particular way and the effects these behaviours have on the child. As a result of parenting effects, the cognitive, emotional, social, physical and general development of the child can be positive or negative. In this book, each chapter adds to our understanding of the parent-child relationship; the possible effects the behaviour of parents may have on the health and well-being of children are discussed. These influences are presented from the perspective of Diana Baumrind's, a specialist of parenting typologies. The studies presented in this book provide a cultural perspective of parenting, highlighting the similarities and differences to other studies focusing on: interventions for parents; adoption and foster care; the reciprocal nature between religiosity and politics and the family. This book includes reviews and primary research studies conducted in South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and Hong Kong.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This contributed volume sits at the intersection of social work and SDG 10. It provides a variety of cases from around the globe that describe how social work, social services, and community engagement can serve as a catalyst for sustainable development. The book has several aims, including linking social work and applied social sciences to the Agenda 2030 which aims to offer a global roadmap for ending poverty, tackling inequalities, and protecting the planet; showing the relevance of social services and applied research in achieving the SDGs, namely SDG 10: the reduction of inequalities by combating the risk of poverty, providing for inclusion of all, stopping discriminatory practices, and advocating for responsible migration policies; and enhancing awareness of inequalities among countries, transnational partnerships and international solidarity.As the World Social Science Report demonstrates, research on inequalities and social justice has drawn from several subfields such as political science, sociology, gender studies, social work, development studies, developmental psychology and family studies, and criminology. The contributors to this book, mainly from a social work and research background, reflect an inherently interdisciplinary approach. Their practice orientation makes them predestined to strengthen the research-policy-practice nexus, address discriminatory practices, and promote inclusion and community ownership. Hence, the book can engage students, practitioners and researchers as global citizens and agents for change.

Hardback. Condition: New. Violence threatens the sense of cohesion in any environment but especially within the family. It is within the family that the first relationships of trust should develop. It is within the family that we are cared for, provided for and where we find our strength and comfort. When the family purports violence, everything shifts because the family environment becomes one of hostility, a threat of harm or death to the mind and body and general well-being, creating distrust, feelings of fear and overall disequilibrium within the family. This book, Family Violence: Prevalence, Risk Factors and Perspectives, uses a family-centred approach to explore the evidence regarding violence in the family because when there is any type of violence, be it child abuse, intimate partner violence, sibling abuse, child-on-parent abuse or elder abuse, everyone in the family is affected and all family members should be included in the intervention. This book includes perspectives of family violence in different contexts and explores family violence risks.…

Hardback. Condition: New. When we focus on children and adolescents younger than 18 years, we have an opportunity to intervene through policy and practice aimed at improving the quality of life and opportunities to thrive. Through evidence-informed decisions and interventions we have the opportunity to shift a generation of children and adolescents, and transform a society. Children living on the African continent tend to live within diverse, and often challenging environments. These community and familial environments in which children and adolescents come from, are also the context and environments which fosters growth and development. This book, Child in Africa: Opportunities and Challenges, presents studies of children living on the African continent, covering various developmental stages which include children in their early years of life, middle childhood and adolescence -- all living in different environments on the African continent. Using mixed methods approaches and backed by rigorous methods the book covers topics such as child and adolescent mental health, parenting, children and disability, parenting in adversity, the impact of dental caries on early childhood development, adolescent identity in post-apartheid South Africa, hookah pipe use and relational aspects to families, young fathers, and intervening in adolescent health risk behaviour. The book presents interesting debates and discussions focused on the child in Africa, aimed to inform both policy and practice.…
