However, many children?s programs are still designed with little thought to religious or cultural diversity, even though the importance of culture was highlighted at the convention. Religious Dimensions of Child and Family Life examines the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child from the perspectives of eight of the world?s most-practised religions?Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, North American Native spiritual belief, Judaism, popular Chinese religious practice and Bahá?í. The authors of each article pay special attention to religious moral codes of conduct governing parental behaviour, child-rearing norms and the role of children in spiritual practice. They pinpoint where positive support is provided, but also where the religions criticize or disagree with the ideas of the Convention. When considered in relation to the UN Convention, these ideas provoke a lively discussion. 606 $aChild rearing$xReligious aspects 606 $aFamilies$xReligious life 606 $aChildren's rights 615 0$aChild rearing$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aFamilies$xReligious life. 615 0$aChildren's rights. 676 $a291.1/783585 701 $aCoward$b Harold G$0642923 701 $aCook$b Philip H$g(Philip Hilton),$f1961-$01808558 712 02$aUniversity of Victoria (B.C.).$bCentre for Studies in Religion and Society. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963037803321 996 $aReligious dimensions of child and family life$94358867 997 $aUNINA
