Family Change and Early Childhood Development
註釋The concern of the paper is to outline how social change affects the nurturing tasks of family life and to suggest a re-thinking of how the community as a whole might assist the child development process. The authors discuss the sorts of changes taking place in the family contexts of Australian children including the increasing numbers of one parent families, the implications of remarriage, the trend towards smaller families, the increasing mobility of the population, the growing numbers of married women in the workforce, and the effects of widespread unemployment. In this context, they critically discuss eight major propositions about early childhood development. Finally, suggestions are offered for positive measures which should be taken to improve early childhood development in Australia through changes in the way family, school and community organise their approach to the problem.
