Bücher der Reihe Children's Well-Being: Indicators and Research

This book studies children's wellbeing from the perspective of Ethiopian immigrant families in Israel. It examines how the meeting of cultures within families affects relationships, language acquisition and the transmission of cultural heritage across generations after immigration. The younger generation, born in Israel or having arrived as infants, are faced with a reality very different from their parent¿s childhood in Ethiopia. The book therefore addresses these key questions: What are the differences between families that enable some children to adopt a hybrid identity while others feel detached? How are the children affected by their experiences in Israeli society and specifically the educational system? What factors in their childhoods foster resilience and how do these children relate to their Ethiopian heritage? The book presents unique insights into the realities experienced by immigrant families using their own narratives, as it is based oninterviews by the author with 50 members of immigrant families from different generations. It is of special interest to academic courses on wellbeing, family studies, immigrants, diaspora studies, ethnic and religious studies, anthropology, folklore, sociology, gender studies, social work, child psychology and more.

Implicit within this book is the acknowledgement that children of various ages, abilities, socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds should haveequal access to, and positive / non-harmful experiences with, new digital technologies and content¿as well as adult support and expertise that enhances these experiences.This passionate book celebrates the diversity of young children¿s activities in the digital world. It interrogates these through four intersecting lenses: their rights, play experiences, contextualised design, and best practice. Balancing children¿s eager engagement with digital content alongside adult responsibilities for education, privacy and protection, the volume provides a fitting showcase for work of global relevance.Professor Lelia GreenProfessor of CommunicationsEdith Cowan UniversityPerth, Western AustraliaThis compelling text provides a critical resource to inform our understanding of the intersection of the digital world and children¿s rights.Ilene R.
