‘Never again’? Resonances of the past in contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child removal

Kevin Rudd’s 2007 Apology to Australia’s Indigenous Peoples acknowledged the devastating impact of child removal on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities and included a commitment that ‘the injustices of the past must never, never happen again’ (Parliament of Australia 2008). Today however, while First Nations children comprise 6% of the total child population in Australia, they make up 41% of children in out-of-home care (SNAICC 2024b). This article explores the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child removal during the Stolen Generations era, considering the ongoing impacts of this history on First Nations families today. While there have been changes, I identify significant continuities between past and contemporary child removal. These disturbing resonances of the past highlight the failed promise of Australian governments to deliver meaningful change in contemporary First Nations child removal policies and practices and to ensure that the mistakes of the past are not being repeated.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian primary school children's learning: A systematic review through a psycho-social lens.

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically affected many areas and contexts of today's society, including school and family. Several studies focused on the worldwide effects of school closures on students' learning outcomes, context, and well-being. However, the data emerging from these studies are often inconsistent and fragmentary, highlighting the need of a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon. This need is especially urgent for the countries with the most severe school closure, like Italy. This systematic review aims to collect the opinions of parents, teachers, and students on: other dimensions of Italian primary school students affected by school closures, beyond academic performance; hypothetical agreement between the opinions of parents, teachers, and students regarding the different effects of school closures on Italian primary school students; possible differences between the effects of school closures on Italian primary school students and the students in other countries. Our search was conducted using PRISMA 2020 guidelines on Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and EBSCOHost. The results obtained from 34 articles revealed a strong concern on the part of all stakeholders involved in learning during the pandemic, with evident negative effects for Italian school students. The constraint on distance learning led to a drastic change in everyone's routine, and a negative emotional change on the part of young students. Parents and teachers generally considered distance learning to be ineffective for the education of their children and students; they encountered technical-practical difficulties in the use of electronic devices for participation in school activities; overall learning deficits on the part of students, especially in mathematics, as confirmed by INVALSI results were also found. The investigation reveals a condition of shared emotional and academic performance difficulty, and a further challenging circumstance for students previously at risk of marginalization. Further research in this field is paramount to identify new and adequate recovery strategies.

A father's perspective for today's young families?

Today, the distribution of parental roles is organised around an equity that is more than justified, but has the consequence of creating a territorial watershed where the negotiation of values, opinions, wishes and deep-seated needs is constantly activated. Where societal definitions used to provide a framework and contentment for transactions within the couple, the new generation finds itself obliged to cooperate and redefine the spaces and roles of each, with intergenerational issues multiplied tenfold and marital crisis often heightened.

Study of Parenting Styles of Multi-child Families in Different Eras in China

In recent years, with the continuous adjustment and changes in China's birth policy, the model of the multi-child family has returned to the public eye. Unlike traditional family upbringing, the parenting concepts and methods of today's large families are more varied. In family education, children's development is generally influenced by the "enriched environment", and children in multi-child families are exposed to a richer interpersonal and emotional environment. To help parents provide children with a better environment and educational resources, adjust parenting styles, and face the challenges of education nowadays, the study analyzes the parenting experiences and educational styles of multi-child families in different eras through a literature review and interviews, and it is found that the social, economic, and cultural backgrounds of different eras have important impacts on the educational styles of multi-child families. The study found that the social, economic, and cultural backgrounds of different eras would have a major impact on the educational styles of families with many children. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to draw general inferences about the future parenting styles of families with many children: while the state and society increase their support for families with many children, families with many children also pay more attention to their children's family education and endeavor to promote the all-around development of young children's bodies and minds.

MEMBANGUN KELUAGA QUR’ANI DI ERA DIGITAL, ANTARA HARAPAN DAN TANTANGAN

The Qur'anic family is a family that is close to the Qur'an, friendly to the Qur'an, always interacts with the Qur'an, and practices the Qur'an in everyday life. The Qur'ani family is not just a family that memorizes the text of the Qur'an, but is also able to practice Qur'anic values ​​in its family life. The Qur'an is a guide and reference in forming a real family. The Qur'an cites various family models as a reflection of today's modern family. For example, the bad family model reflects the Abu Lahab family (Qs. Al-Lahab: 1-5), the noble family reflects the family of Prophet Ibrahim (Qs. Ash-Shaffat: 101-113), Imran's family (Qs. Ali Imran: 33-34 ), the Luqman family (Qs. Luqman: 13-19) and so on. These are among the family stories (al-Qashash) that are revealed in the Qur'an as a reflection of today's family. Therefore, it is appropriate for every family to reflect on the various family models described in the Qur'an so that they can build a Qur'anic family

The Pattern of Biblical Synodality in The Acts of The Apostles and Its Relevance to The Asian Catholic Families Today

Synodality is defined as the way of life and act of the Church. The question is whether this way of life and act has only begun recently, especially when the synod for synodality was echoed throughout the universal Church or it has been existed since the early Church. This article aims to trace the theme of synodality as the way of life and act of the early Church in the Acts of the Apostles. The Lukan sequel was chosen because it recorded many stories about the early Church. Narrative analysis focusing on the formal structure of the plot is used to explore the synodality theme presented in the texts. The goal is to find a biblical synodality pattern that could be duplicated step by step by the Asian Catholic Families today. This is the relevance of synodality as the way of life and act of the early Church for the Asian Catholic Family today as the most basic level of the Church.

Characteristics, types and functions of family concept

The family, which has existed throughout human history, is a social institution. There are many definitions of the family, which is defined as the smallest cornerstone of societies consisting of a mother, father, and children. However, a universal definition of the family is quite difficult. As the smallest component of society, a family is a social unit with economic, psychological, biological, legal, and social aspects. This research aims to examine the concept of family, family types and family functions. The method of the study is a systematic literature review. Unlike other institutions, the roles and obligations that the family institution imposes on human beings continue from birth to death. Family types are classified in different ways. When analyzed in terms of family structure, values, and functioning in general, it is classified into two types "nuclear family" and "extended family". With today's social and economic changes and the increasing participation of women in working life, the family structure has also changed. Today's family structures have undergone significant changes as a result of urbanization, industrialization, and migration to big cities. Such a high number of divorce data shows that in modern times, the family is moving forward with different impulses and dynamics compared to the past. The duties and responsibilities of families have therefore changed in parallel with daily problems. While in the past the main purpose of marriage was to have children, today they expect more from marriage. As a result of the family's inability to fulfill its functions, the society in which it exists has also been affected and the social problems of the society have increased. In this study, within the scope of the literature, the concept of family, family characteristics, family types, and family functions were examined.

“We make new families:” findings from a family court mediation study

AbstractMediation was brought into family court cases as a divorce litigation alternative. Today, parents are not only encouraged but mandated across most U.S. states to consider mediation before further court action can be taken. Research has not kept up with understanding how publicly mandated and subsidized mediation services become part of court cases and possible case resolution. This article reviews how mediation has evolved from outside alternative to family court “workhorse” within a family dispute resolution paradigm centered on shared parenting as in the best interest of children. Research results from a family court mediation program are presented to highlight how parents encountered and responded to mediation as an embedded part of today's family dispute resolution paradigm/court system. Especially in cases that keep coming back to court, family dispute resolution has become a means of “making family” as much as supporting family separation. Implications for practice include limitations of a mediation service as provided in an under‐resourced court and ultimate reliance upon parents to uphold the best interest standard through ongoing co‐parenting interactions.

Holy Qur’an Based Parenting from the Perspective of Luqman Al-Hakim In Millennial Era

This study aims to explain the challenges in families in the millennial era, the description of al-Qur'an-based parenting in Luqman al-Hakim's perspective, and the implementation of al-Qur'an-based parenting in the millennial era. The research method used is library research by collecting books, journals, articles related to al-Qur'an-based parenting. The data collection technique used is documentation. This study found that there are two challenges in the millennial family, namely internal challenges associated with the different perspectives between parents and children caused by generation differences and external challenges related to the rapid development of technology in this millennial era. Through Luqman al-Hakim's al-Qur'an-based parenting, it is hoped that it can overcome challenges in millennial families because the education carried out by Luqman al-Hakim is very relevant for today's millennial families such as building a pattern of loving interaction between parents and children. The existence of exemplary figures who not only come from the mother, but the father must also play a role in it. The strengthening of faith, worship, and commendable morals must be applied to children early. In addition, it must be emphasized that technology can be used as a means of nurturing and education but is not the primary goal. Because, after all, technological developments cannot replace the emotional closeness between parents and children.

MUSYARAKAH PADA HARTA BERSAMA

The concept of marital property is still an interesting topic to discuss. Because there is still a disagreement between the concept of marital property to described by contemporary scholars through the approach of syirkah and the financial reality of today's family in Indonesia. This is because syirkah mufawadhah and syirkah 'abdan which explain is the type of syirkah 'uqūd that requires ijab-kabul and its provision for business. While in the context of marital property this concept is not achieved.

Positive impacts among the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for community life

The Covid-19 pandemic is a global disease outbreak that quickly spreads throughout the world and transmits from one person to another so easily and is a form of danger that has the potential to threaten all aspects of people's lives. These negative impacts include social, economic, health, and psychological impacts, even to the point of threatening national defense and security, due to the limited space for human movement in carrying out daily activities. But there are also positive influences that we unconsciously admit, not only producing clean air but making individuals mentally strong and changing personalities for a better life. Adaptation of new life patterns from before makes people learn about the meaning of maintaining cleanliness in the face of a pandemic with new habits in maintaining personal hygiene, family, and the surrounding environment. The long-term impact on society is to produce people who are tough in facing life by taking advantage of existing opportunities into innovations in running life with the emergence of creative businesses as a new source of income in meeting the needs of families today and in the future.

"This is not your Life…and it becomes your Life": A Qualitative Exploration of Deployment-related Stress and Support needs in National Guard and Reserve spouses who are Mothers of Young Children.

The adverse effects of deployment-related stress (DRS) on military service members, spouses, and children are well documented. Findings from a recent Consensus Report on Military Families by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (2019) underscore the priority of gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the diversity of today's military families and their needs and well-being. While social support is generally regarded as helpful during times of stress, it has not been studied extensively in National Guard/Reserve spouses who are parents of young children. This qualitative study of 30 women examines the unique ways in which DRS affects women who are National Guard/Reserve spouses and mothers of young children, as well as the processes through which they encountered support to manage these stressors. Salient themes spanned experiences involving deployment cycle phases of separation and reintegration and included both anticipated and unanticipated changes in family-related division of labor, dynamics, and communication patterns. These were complicated by geographic, social, and cultural isolation and misguided efforts to support spouses initiated by civilians. Women managed these stressors primarily through seeking, acquiring, and repurposing existing sources of informal social support for themselves and formal supports for their children, with varying degrees of success.

On the regulation of family and marriage relations in Uzbekistan

This article was prepared on the basis of official statistics and special surveys of families, which were collected and published by the media in Turkestan. In pre-revolutionary Uzbekistan, the principles of family-marriage relations proceeded from the economic relations of the feudal period. Therefore, at this time, the systems of the patriarchal family were characteristic, that is, the dominance of men, the lack of freedom for women, forced marriages, and disregard for the interests and rights of women and children. Today's family customs and traditions have deep historical roots, which were significant precisely at the end of the 19th century on the territory of modern Uzbekistan.
