The 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.
