Abstract:
Nurturing care and protection from parents and community in the early years of life are fundamental for a child\'s development. The article aims to explore what relations parents see as meaningful in their child\'s upbringing and how these are shaped, and how these perspectives are reflected in MANU. MANU is a universal parenting programme in Greenland. Ten of 40 interviews with parents were selected for the analysis of this article\'s objective. Five grandparents were interviewed. Grandparents are the child\'s closest extended family members and provide support to parents. Parents placed between one to 19 extended family members in their child\'s network. Eating and being in nature together, along with familial and intergenerational connectedness, were deemed valuable and important aspects in child-rearing. Parents\' own experiences in childhood can influence and complicate how parents place their new family within the extended family. The MANU materials address aspects in the role of kin that parents and grandparents described in interviews. The format and delivery of MANU aims to be universal and mostly addresses Western epistemologies, but both Western and Inuit epistemologies coexists in Greenland. This article creates a window into the existing context parents navigate in. It is important that initiatives are built within this context to ensure they are relevant to families.
摘要:
在生命的早期,从父母和社区中培养照顾和保护是儿童发展的基础。本文旨在探讨父母认为什么关系对孩子的成长有意义,以及这些关系是如何形成的,以及这些观点是如何在Manu中反映出来的。MANU是格陵兰的一个普遍育儿方案。在对父母的40次访谈中,选择了10次对本文的目的进行分析。五个祖父母接受了采访。祖父母是孩子最亲密的大家庭成员,并为父母提供支持。父母在孩子的网络中安置了一到19个大家庭成员。一起吃饭和生活在大自然中,以及家庭和代际联系,被认为是抚养孩子的宝贵和重要方面。父母自己的童年经历会影响和复杂化父母如何将他们的新家庭置于大家庭中。MANU材料涉及父母和祖父母在访谈中描述的亲属角色方面。Manu的格式和交付旨在具有普遍性,主要针对西方认识论,但是西方和因纽特人的认识论在格陵兰共存。本文创建一个窗口到现有的上下文父导航中。重要的是要在这种背景下制定举措,以确保它们与家庭相关。
