Interdependence of religious and tradition-related factors in child nurture: The case study of the Celebrating Families model

世界宣明会(WV)于2011年开发了庆祝家庭(从现在起)模式，以支持父母和照顾者创造一个促进儿童精神发展和整体福祉的家庭和社区环境。由于儿童不是在孤立的环境中长大的，而是家庭和(更广泛的)信仰社区的一部分，在整个实施过程中，妇女看到了通过这一模式影响信仰领袖和整个社区的潜力。虽然这一模式主要针对个别父母和照顾者，但已发现其影响不能脱离参与者的社会文化环境和规定的社区预期行为和共同价值观，即由宗教和传统因素决定的相互联系。1(Mapp and Henderson，2002；Bornstein，2009；Jones et al.，2015；Lucas et al.，2018；Bronfenbrenner，1979；Shelton，2019；Bartkowski 2018；Heft，2006；Cross，1998；Maslow 1943)CF课程最初是为基督教背景开发的，严重依赖基督教圣经内容，并在有限但仍然重要的背景下进行了测试。然而，将父母身份作为一种社会结构来观察，CF模型创造了一个机会，进一步探索和收集关于普遍的、跨文化的和其他父母行为的证据，而不是不同文化中不同的父母行为。本论文旨在对这种干预进行系统的考察，并以此为个案分析宗教和传统相关因素在儿童养育过程中的相互依存关系。

World Vision (WV) developed the Celebrating Families (from now on CF) model in 2011 to support parents and caregivers in creating a family and community environment that fosters children's spiritual development and overall well-being. As children are not raised in isolation but are a part of families and (wider) communities of faith, throughout implementation, WV has seen the potential to impact faith leaders and entire communities through this model. Although this model primarily targets individual parents and caregivers, it has been detected that its impact cannot be observed separated from the socio-cultural environment of the participants and prescribed expected behaviour and shared values of the community, i.e., their interconnection determined by religious and traditional factors. 1 (Mapp and Henderson, 2002; Bornstein, 2009; Jones et al., 2015; Lucas et al., 2018; Bronfenbrenner, 1979; Shelton, 2019; Bartkowski 2018; Heft, 2006; Cross, 1998; Maslow 1943) The CF curriculum was initially developed for the Christian context, relying heavily on Christian Biblical content and tested in a limited but still significant number of contexts. However, observing parenthood as a social construct, the CF model creates an opportunity for further exploration and evidence collection on universal, cross-cultural, and other parental behaviour versus the one which varies across different cultures. This thesis proposal is about a systematic examination of this intervention as a case study to analyse the interdependence of religious and tradition-related factors in child nurture
