Abstract/Notes: This dissertation accounts for debates around correct American Muslim mothering in the 21st century. It centers around the following underlying questions: What advice do Muslim modernists and Sunni ʿulamāʾ offer to mothers for raising Muslims in the limited, privatized spaces of their nurseries, homes, and mosque communities? How do Muslim mothers who desire to rear children communally, in harmony with their fiṭra (innate nature) and according to traditional notions of tarbiya (development, education) accomplish this as religious minorities in a hyper capitalist, secular modern context? What are the different ways that mothers negotiate the ideas of Muslim advice-givers, which sometimes clash both internally and with the diverse opinions of American pediatricians, psychologists, and neuroscientists? This study considers the nuanced impact secular modernity, feminism, and the expanding authority of the medical and psy disciplines have had on American Muslim child-rearing practices, reconfigurations of gender roles in Muslim families and the intergenerational transmission of American Islam. To gauge this impact, this dissertation narrowly focuses on two highly contested decisions mothers make in early childhood: how to feed infants after birth and whether to corporally punish young children. The data for this project was collected from in-depth fieldwork interviews with a diverse sample of Muslim mothers conducted in 2017 in the city of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. This data was analyzed by situating the types of religious and parenting education mothers had both received and sought out and by surveying the Islamic scriptural and jurisprudential texts, contemporary childrearing manuals, and social media sources that informed their child-rearing practices. This dissertation found that most mothers were much more likely to formula feed or breastfeed their infants themselves than allow other mothers to nurse their children. None of my interlocutors engaged wet nurses or used donated human milk for infant feeding. Additionally, most mothers disapproved of using corporal punishment for children’s discipline, either by themselves or others in loco parentis. Corporal punishment of children was increasingly viewed not as one method among many to cultivate children’s embodiment of ritual practices, but as child abuse. However, a minority of mothers demonstrated an openness to sharing milk and employing constrained forms of physical discipline in specific circumstances. In investigating the ever-shifting child-rearing advice from religious scholars (ʿulamāʾ), non-Muslim scientific experts, and a hybridized class of Muslim parent educators, this dissertation offers another avenue for understanding the fragmented nature of religious authority in American Muslim communities. It contributes to the growing body of scholarship that tracks the rising popularity of Sunnī rationalism and traditionalism by noting the way it attracts mothers who long for styles of parenting that are more shared and communal and less demanding and intensive. Finally, this dissertation affords insights into ongoing contestation over what constitutes correct, ethical tarbiya and how best to integrate and transmit American Islam

Abstract/Notes: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola asuh orang tua Kristen terhadap anak dalam menghadapi tantangan kemajuan zaman, sehingga melalui penulisan artikel ini dapat memberikan gambaran kepada orang tua agar mereka memiliki pola asuh yang baik  dan menjadi orang tua yang berperan sebagai guru yang patut diteladani oleh anak-anaknya. Untuk mewujudkan penelitian ini, maka penulis memilih metode penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif dengan studi kepustakaan. Melalui penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa zaman dimana kita hidup saat ini akan terus mengalami perubahan dan perkembangan, namun moral dan keimanan manusia semakin menurun. Perubahan atau perkembangan yang paling tren masa kini ialah perkembangan teknologi seperti smartphone. Orang tua adalah guru dalam keluarga yang seyogianya memiliki pola asuh yang baik agar dapat mengantisipasi dan menghadapi tantangan kemajuan zaman yang sedang berkembang saat ini agar anak-anak tetap berkembang secara utuh dalam rasa takut akan Tuhan dan mencintai gereja-Nya. Kemajuan zaman dapat berdampak buruk (negatif) bagi anak-anak jikalau orang tua tidak menerapkan pola asuh yang baik terhadap anak, dan sebaliknya dapat  juga berdampak baik (positif) apabila orang tua mendemonstrasikan pola asuh yang baik terhadap anak. Lebih mudah menjadi guru bagi anak sendiri daripada menjadi guru bagi orang lain. Dalam praktiknya orang tua Kristen dapat menerapkan sepuluh usulan rancang bangun pendidikan rohani anak oleh orang tua untuk menghadapi kemajuan (tren) zaman di abad ke-21.

Abstract/Notes: From year to year, the population is certain to increase. As time goes by, it is also accompanied by the development of science and technology that supports human life, including in the field of parenting science or more popularly referred to as parenting science. Various parties invite young parents, or we know the millennial generation, to be better at nurturing their children, especially early childhood. These young parents have wider access to parenting methods in an increasingly open era like today, they can learn many things through books that are sold freely, and also through online seminars or from various other sources of educational content. As said by Dr. Montessori, that the most important thing for millennial parents to realize is that children are part of a society that is still in the process of learning to understand what is in their environment. There are three important things that are the main needs of children in a parenting process, namely nutrition, stimulation and a sense of security. Nutrition is the first principal as a source of child growth in the form of food intake needed by children, stimulation as a process of stimulating maturity in every child's development, and a sense of security as a comfortable atmosphere for children and is a condition that is expected to occur in every child's activity. Parenting science is a form of parenting basic pattern and becomes flexible to be integrated with fields of science related to principles, value systems in society, beliefs, psychology, health, and various other scientific fields. Through the correct understanding of parenting, as well as proper emotional management, millennial parents will be able to live in the right parenting atmosphere, where they are able to present a comfortable family atmosphere, become a source of security for children, and form positive characters in children as their basis. grow into a dignified adult human. When they are adults, the provision of nutrition, stimulation and a sense of security will also be repeated to their children and their offspring in the future. That way, the majority of people who understand and apply parenting will form a society that has a positive character

Abstract/Notes: For years, the traditional school system did not meet the needs of students. Parents founded schools to allow children to move away from the rigid class-subject-hour system. Founders of alternative schools can be citizens, parents and teachers, religious communities and other legal entities. These are the so-called free schools, civic education initiatives, pedagogical reform attempts, educational boarding schools, etc. The goals of this paper are to present the pedagogical concepts and ideas of schools in the Republic of Croatia that were founded by parents. The paper presents the basic pedagogical principles and teaching aspects of Waldorf and Montessori pedagogy based on educational pluralism, a brief overview of the partnership between parents and schools in Croatia and the educational model of the Catholic primary schools "Ružičnjak" and "Lotrščak". The observed schools are located in Zagreb and have only one goal - to adapt the school to the child. We try to provide each student with an individual approach. The starting points are the child's needs and interests. These are schools where students have freedom of choice. The goal of education is the holistic development of the child. Emphasis is placed on active learning methods and abandoning didactic scenarios in which the child is only a passive observer. / Tradicionalni školski sustav godinama nije zadovoljavao potrebe učenika. Roditelji su osnovali škole kako bi omogućili djeci da se odmaknu od krutoga sustava razred – predmet – sat. Osnivači alternativnih škola mogu biti građani, roditelji i nastavnici, vjerske zajednice te druge pravne osobe. To su takozvane slobodne škole, građanske obrazovne inicijative, reformski pedagoški pokušaji, obrazovni internati itd. Ciljevi su ovoga rada predstaviti pedagoške koncepte i ideje škola u Republici Hrvatskoj koje su osnovali roditelji. U radu se predstavljaju osnovna pedagoška načela i aspekti poučavanja Waldorf i Montessori pedagogije utemeljene na obrazovnome pluralizmu, kratak osvrt na partnerstvo roditelja i škola u Hrvatskoj te obrazovni model katoličkih osnovnih škola “Ružičnjak” i “Lotrščak”. Promatrane škole nalaze se u Zagrebu i imaju samo jedan cilj – prilagoditi školu djetetu. Svakomu učeniku nastoji se osigurati individualan pristup. Polazne su točke djetetove potrebe i interesi. Ovo su škole gdje učenici imaju slobodu izbora. Cilj je odgoja i obrazovanja holistički razvoj djeteta. Naglasak je stavljen na metode aktivna učenja i napuštanje didaktičkih scenarija u kojima je dijete samo pasivan promatrač.

Abstract/Notes: The primary objective of this study was to analyze the level of parents' satisfaction with the behaviour and roles of office staffs, receptionists, and roles of teachers. This study has applied the quantitative approach along with the survey method. The survey instrument was used to collect two hundred (N =200) data from the parents of Montessori schools in Gaindakot 1 and 2, Nawalpur. Random sampling was used to select the parents of Montessori schools. The results show positive association between the behaviour and roles of office staff, receptionists, and parents, satisfaction. Similarly, the results show a negative association between the facilities of Montessori schools, the influence of Montessori quality and behaviour and the roles of Montessori teachers. This study has concluded that there was an association between the quality of Montessori education and parental satisfaction. This study's implications would benefit new researchers, scholars, colleges, local government, Montessori schools, school administrators and owners and investors of private schools in Nepal.

Abstract/Notes: Research on privileged parents, defined here as those with the economic, social, and educational resources to navigate school choice processes to their advantage, often depicts such parents as anxious about maintaining social mobility, leading them to “opportunity hoard” desirable or academically competitive schools in ways that exclude other families. In contrast, we identify a subset of privileged parents in urban settings that we term “happiness-oriented parents” who seek schools that prioritize their child’s social-emotional happiness. Using a qualitative meta-analysis combining seven studies conducted by the authors in New York City; Hartford, Connecticut; and a small East Coast city between 2012 and 2021, we reanalyzed interview data from semistructured interviews with 106 privileged parents who have the ability to access and navigate a range of school choice options. We found a happiness orientation in a diverse group of privileged parents (40% identified as Black, Latinx, Asian American, or multiracial, and the remaining 60% were white). Although these parents were choosing a range of school options in different contexts and they identified different criteria as important to cultivating happiness, they consistently (1) centered happiness, (2) chose for social-emotional and noncompetitive academic factors, and (3) saw this choice as different from the norm. In identifying this repeated but understudied phenomenon, we consider that happiness-oriented parents’ choices might affect a range of education policy changes and outcomes. In the case of our studies, we examine the potential of these parents as allies in school integration efforts.
