Children's Upbringing In Today's Modern Society (Parenting Now In Crisis)
Author: Fr. Greg. Udo Njoku CSSp
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662439806
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
Writing has marked Fr. Greg Udo Njoku, CSSp’s life from his infant classes. He always thrilled his schoolmates in the morning assembly with recitals of little sonnets, dirges, poems, and epic rhymes. For his secondary school, he attended the renowned Kings College in Lagos, Nigeria, a model school founded by British colonizers in 1909 and named after King’s College in Oxford, London, comparable to Harvard University in America (see book 12). Father Greg’s habit for writing is, for him, a therapeutic as well as a spiritual exercise. Writing or reading from his books solaces him greatly and feeds his whole being with joy, strength, peace, hope, and calmness that he is unable to grasp. In reading his writings, he becomes energized and recharged. Gifted with a powerful, creative imagination, much of Father Greg’s writings go with divine inspirations. His book series serves as a panacea for diverse forms of addictions, ill dispositions that could land their victims in rehabs, juvenile justice courts, counseling centers, depression, violent behaviors, jail terms, suicide, and murder. As a hardy Catholic missionary priest for the past thirty-nine years, his writings have been strong references in his pastoral and educational tasks. Father Greg thanks God for the use he has made of his books wherever he has worked.

The Cultural Contradictions of Motherhood
Author: Sharon Hays
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300076523
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Working mothers today confront not only conflicting demands on their time and energy but also conflicting ideas about how they are to behave: they must be nurturing and unselfish while engaged in child rearing but competitive and ambitious at work. As more and more women enter the workplace, it would seem reasonable for society to make mothering a simpler and more efficient task. Instead, Sharon Hays points out in this original and provocative book, an ideology of "intensive mothering" has developed that only exacerbates the tensions working mothers face. Drawing on ideas about mothering since the Middle Ages, on contemporary childrearing manuals, and on in-depth interviews with mothers from a range of social classes, Hays traces the evolution of the ideology of intensive mothering--an ideology that holds the individual mother primarily responsible for child rearing and dictates that the process is to be child-centered, expert-guided, emotionally absorbing, labor-intensive, and financially expensive. Hays argues that these ideas about appropriate mothering stem from a fundamental ambivalence about a system based solely on the competitive pursuit of individual interests. In attempting to deal with our deep uneasiness about self-interest, we have imposed unrealistic and unremunerated obligations and commitments on mothering, making it into an opposing force, a primary field on which this cultural ambivalence is played out.
