浅论我国儿童读经教育

当前中国社会出现了第四个"读经"潮,自王财贵教授于1994年在台湾成立的"读经推广中心"以来,儿童"读经"运动在中国大陆以及港、澳、台地区迅速展开,儿童"读经"教育则成为社会和教育界的论点。在此,笔者介绍了儿童读经教育的基本情况,并对儿童读经教育的科学规范进行了思考。     

预算标准法与儿童抚养成本研究——以夏县农村儿童抚养成本为例

本研究采用预算标准法,以夏县农村地区儿童抚养成本为研究内容,详细测算了在可接受的最低生活水平下,生活在不同家庭类型,不同年龄段、不同性别的儿童抚养成本。本研究还就所测算的儿童抚养成本与夏县农村地区主要社会救助项目进行了比较,发现农村最低生活保障线相当于温饱线,五保救助标准比低保标准略高,但是也仅仅覆盖了衣食成本。     

儿童语言早熟与家庭社会工作干预策略

儿童语言早熟作为社会化的一种表征，是儿童语言社会化的畸形，对儿童的危害表现为影响生理发育、减弱智力水平、降低交际能力、增多越轨机率等方面。父母的“怂恿”与“无暇”、媒体的“诱惑”与“误导”、信息的“轰炸”与“灌输”、传统的“作祟”与“秉承”等社会性因素引发儿童语言早熟。家庭社会工作从问题个案辅导、亲子关系构筑、支持网络搭建等三个方面形成立体式干预策略，帮助儿童矫治语言习得，全面地、持久地解决语言早熟问题，顺利实现儿童社会化。

Future Uncertainty as a Challenge to Law's Programmes: The Dilemma of Parental Disputes

The article poses the problem of the need for judges to make 'right' decisions. It then describes how judges have attempted to meet this requirement in difficult cases concerning parental disputes over contact with children where there have been allegations of domestic violence. Applying Luhmann's concepts of the legal system, law's function, law's coding and law's programmes (Das Recht der Gesellschaft (Society's Law) 1997), offers a very different perspective on the issue to that of the judiciary or legal commentators who tend to see the issue of the law, determining, with expert help, what is best for the child. Law's function of stabilizing expectations over time obliges it to deal with all matters that come before the courts through the application of 'conditional programmes' and prevents it from applying the 'purpose oriented programmes' of politics and those who see the issue in terms of ideological conflict.     

Is the Care System Failing Children?

Public care is widely perceived to be failing children, and this belief is at the heart of government proposals set out in the Care Matters white paper. This article argues that on the contrary, research tends to find that children's welfare improves while they are in care. The reasons for the negative perception of care are considered and it is argued that care should be seen as a positive option for children in families experiencing severe difficulties and as a form of family support rather than an alternative option. This would move the United Kingdom toward a more European model for the place of care for children in difficult family situations, rather than an American model which focuses on minimizing the use of public care.     

错位婚姻家庭中小孩抚养和婆媳冲突研究——以广州“80后”青年白领为例

都市社会80后青年人群中,来自农村的凤凰男和出身城市的孔雀女所组建的错位婚姻家庭越来越普遍,网络上、电视电影上和现实生活中弥漫着大量关于凤凰男和孔雀女家庭的矛盾和冲突,其中尤以围绕小孩抚养产生的婆媳冲突最为激烈。文章分析了凤凰男和孔雀女家庭中农村婆婆和城市媳妇在小孩抚养过程中出现的小孩定位、消费理念、生活方式、代际资源、性别角色和家务劳动分配这五种冲突类型及其影响机制。错位婚姻家庭中的婆媳冲突表面上是日常生活中的家庭矛盾,实质上却是农村青年精英向上流入都市社会之后无法摆脱出身农村家庭低社会地位的先赋性因素制约而面临的结构性弱势。这种结构性弱势在转型时期国家和市场的双重形塑下体现了凤凰男自致性个体社会地位和先赋性家庭社会地位之间的张力,同时也决定了错位婚姻家庭中婆媳冲突必将长期存在。     

“90后”服刑人员家庭特点分析——兼论针对“90后”服刑人员的家庭特点在改造中的策略

青少年犯罪已成为世界三大公害之一。中国在20世纪90年代确立市场经济以来,社会生活各方面巨大变化,作为社会负面的犯罪问题也随之出现新的特点,其中青少年犯罪尤为值得关注!纵观当代青少年罪犯,他们在年龄上有个共同点——＂90后＂。由于＂90后＂罪犯年龄上的特点,其家庭因素在其误入犯罪歧途及改造中均有不可忽视的作用。所以本课题组分析＂90后＂服刑人员家庭特点,希望利用家庭资源对＂90后＂服刑人员的改造发挥一份力量。     

Reforming Relocation Law: An Evidence‐Based Approach

In recent years, there has been much discussion within international fora about the need for a greater consensus on how to approach relocation cases. Empirical research on the lived experience of parents and children who have been through relocation disputes has an important role to play in providing an evidence base for decisions on policy. In this article, we summarize the findings of a 5‐year prospective longitudinal study of relocation disputes in Australia and make recommendations in the light of this and other research evidence concerning a new approach to relocation law. We argue that there should be no presumptions. Nonetheless there is an appropriate place for legislative or appellate guidance on how to approach these disputes. “Good faith” should be irrelevant to decision making, and children should not be placed in the center of the conflict. The adjudication of relocation disputes should be on the basis of asking three questions: First, how close is the relationship between the nonresident parent and the child and how important is that relationship developmentally to the child? Second, if the relocation is to be permitted, how viable are the proposals for contact with the nonresident parent? Third, if the relationship between the child and the nonresident parent is developmentally important to the child and is likely to be diminished if the move is allowed, then (a) what are the viable alternatives to the parents living a long distance apart? and (b) is a move with the primary caregiver the least detrimental alternative?

Key Points for the Family Court Community
• Describes the findings of empirical research on relocation disputes in Australia on the lived experience of children and families postrelocation disputes.
• Reviews various features of relocation law and proposals for reform in the light of this research evidence.
• Proposes an approach to deciding relocation cases based upon three essential questions.
