Grandparenting in divorced families is the first in-depth
exploration of grandparents' relationships with their adult
children and grandchildren in divorced families. It asks what part
grandparents might play in public policy and whether measures
should be taken to support their grandparenting role. Do
grandparents have a special role in family life that ought to be
recognised in law? This book examines grandparents' roles and
functions and gives voice to their attitudes and opinions.
Grandparenting is often represented sentimentally with too little
account taken of the diversity of attitudes and behaviour. The
study asks challenging questions about grandparents' contributions
to family life and comments on the legal and policy implications.
It includes fascinating discussion of issues such as: grandparents
who are excluded and ignored; partisan behaviour and its effect on
family relationships; communicating across the family divide;
change and continuity in grandparents' relationships with their
grandchildren. This groundbreaking book is intended for a wide
readership. Grandparents and parents in divorced families will
identify with many of the thoughts, feelings and experiences r
Perhaps the most sweeping of changes in social welfare since the
enactment of the Social Security Act, was realised in 1996 with the
passage of the Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity and
Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). PRWORA, signed into law by President
Clinton amidst much national controversy, was designed to
essentially transform social welfare in the United States through
transferring the design, implementation and evaluation of the
welfare system from the federal government to the states. This
groundbreaking book highlights firstly how important the strong
social welfare is to the country and secondly, how spirited the
debate of the 1990s has been with regard to the nuances of social
welfare policies and programmes.
"From the Heart of God" is a book that parallels the events that
surrounds the preparation of a natural bride, with the spiritual
events that affect the "Bride of Christ," the church. The book
starts off with the proposal for the natural bride to be and
parallels it with the proposal as it relates to a member of the
Body of Christ, the local body, and the corporate body. In a world
where the sacredness of marriage is minimized, this book reminds
the reader of how the natural union of a husband and wife is
symbolic of the spiritual union of the Body of Christ with the
Bridegroom (Christ). This book is a wake-up call to the Body of
Christ in particular, and to the world in general. It is intended
to remind the Bride of Christ to prepare for the Bridegrooms
return.
How do young people navigate their way through school, home and the
Internet? What value systems are they adopting? What strategies are
young people using to learn problem solving, trial and error, risk
taking, commonsense learning, intuition, or activity-based
learning? In order to motivate children to learn in classrooms,
educational practices need to evolve from the content and range of
young people's personal experiences. Children's Ways of Knowing
seeks to explore the experiences of children as they make sense of
their environment.
