Book Synopsis The Pop Culture Parent by : Theodore A. Turnau, III
Download or read book The Pop Culture Parent written by Theodore A. Turnau, III and published by New Growth Press. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents often feel at a loss with popular culture and how it fits in with their families. They want to love their children well, but it can be overwhelming to navigate the murky waters of television, movies, games, and more that their kids are exposed to every day. Popular culture doesn’t have to be a burden. The Pop Culture Parent equips mothers, fathers, and guardians to build relationships with their children by entering into their popular culture–informed worlds, understanding them biblically, and passing on wisdom. This resource by authors Ted Turnau, E. Stephen Burnett, and Jared Moore, provides Scripture-based, practical help for parents to enjoy the messy gift of popular culture with their kids. By engaging with their children’s interests, parents can explore culture while teaching their children to become missionaries in a post-Christian world. By providing realistic yet biblical encouragement for parents, the coauthors guide readers to engage with popular culture through a gospel lens, helping them teach their kids to understand and answer the challenges raised by popular culture. The Pop Culture Parent helps the next generation of evangelicals move beyond a posture of cultural ignorance to one of cultural engagement, building grace-oriented disciples and cultural missionaries.
Book Synopsis Parenting Through Pop Culture by : JL Schatz
Download or read book Parenting Through Pop Culture written by JL Schatz and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ever-increasing amount of media children are consuming, it has become important for parents to learn how to help them navigate this consumption productively. All too often, the only approach to screen time by parents is a question of limiting how much and what kind. Instead, if parents and educators can adopt a more nuanced relationship to media and education, adults and children can come together in order to engage with and deconstruct the messages that are embedded in popular culture. This enables children to become more informed citizens. This collection seeks to do just that by providing a series of essays on strategies to engage children with varying topics and programming to ensure that media consumption is an active process that promotes social and political awareness instead of apathetic entertainment.

Book Synopsis Popular Culture, New Media and Digital Literacy in Early Childhood by : Jackie Marsh
Download or read book Popular Culture, New Media and Digital Literacy in Early Childhood written by Jackie Marsh and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a range of perspectives on children's multimodal experiences, providing a ground-breaking account of the ways in which children engage with popular culture, media and digital literacy practices from their earliest years. Many young children have extensive experience of film, television, printed media, computer games, mobile phones and the Internet from birth, yet their reaction to media texts is rarely acknowledged in the national curricula of any country. This seminal text focuses on children from birth to eight years, addressing issues such as: * media and identity construction * media literacy practices in the home * the changing nature of literacy in technologically advanced societies * The place of popular and media texts in children's lives and the use of such texts in the curriculum. By exploring children's engagement with popular culture, media and digital texts in the home, community and early years settings, the contributors look at empirical studies from around the world, and draw out vital new theoretical issues relating to children's emergent techno-literacy practices. With an unmatchable team of international experts evaluating topics from text-messaging to the Teletubbies, this book is a long-overdue, fascinating and illuminating read for policy-makers, educational researchers and practitioners, and crosses over to appeal to those in the linguistics field.
Book Synopsis Pops in Pop Culture by : Elizabeth Podnieks
Download or read book Pops in Pop Culture written by Elizabeth Podnieks and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitions of fatherhood have shifted in the twenty-first century as paternal subjectivities, conflicts, and desires have registered in new ways in the contemporary family. This collection investigates these sites of change through various lenses from popular culture - film, television, blogs, best-selling fiction and non-fiction, stand-up comedy routines, advertisements, newspaper articles, parenting guide-books, and video games. Treating constructions of the father at the nexus of patriarchy, gender, and (post)feminist philosophy, contributors analyze how fatherhood is defined in relation to masculinity and femininity, and the shifting structures of the heteronormative nuclear family. Perceptions of the father as the traditional breadwinner and authoritarian as compared to a more engaged and involved nurturer are considered via representations of fathers from the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, South Africa, and Sweden.

Book Synopsis What Kind of Parent Am I? by : Nicole Letourneau
Download or read book What Kind of Parent Am I? written by Nicole Letourneau and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2018-06-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toxic stress can occur in any home, rich or poor, regardless of age, education, or walk of life. Research has shown that adaptive, supportive parents are the best at insulating their children from all but the biggest catastrophes. Exposure to “toxic stress” in childhood can cause depression, alcoholism, obesity, violent behaviour, heart disease, and even cancer in adulthood. Parents who are less sensitive or attentive or who regularly misinterpret their children’s needs can let too much stress trickle through, or even cause it in the first place, which can carry on to the next generation. What Kind of Parent Am I? uses specially created surveys to identify problem areas for parents. With recommended resources and advice throughout, Dr. Letourneau informs and empowers parents to deal directly with their unique risks and challenges, helping them become the best parents they can be.
Book Synopsis Pop Goes the Culture by : Kevin Sedelmeier
Download or read book Pop Goes the Culture written by Kevin Sedelmeier and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children teach us patience and offer us a fresh perspective on life. As parents, we unconditionally love our children and would do anything for them. Oh, and we swear we will never lick a napkin and then wipe our childs face off with it. Oh, but the best laid plans?Ǫ Still, even with all of our parental wisdom, adults can learn a thing or two from kids. The literal and honest way children look at the world is often refreshing and preferable to the suspicious way adults can see things. With complete innocence, children can cut to the quick and do so in a way that is not condescending or adversarial. From this seed comes Pop Goes the Culture: A Father and Sons Take on the World. Both father and son have written brief essays on 52 diverse topics. Many are kid-related: Burger King?«, Elmo?«, Icees?«, and school uniforms. Some are not: Autumn, going to church, records, and love. While the father tries to craft droll commentaries replete with esoteric pop culture references, his son presents very literal takes on the same topics. Note that all author royalties from Outskirts Press will be going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Book Synopsis The Shape of Social Inequality by : David Bills
Download or read book The Shape of Social Inequality written by David Bills and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-08-24 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together former students, colleagues, and others influenced by the sociological scholarship of Archibald O. Haller to celebrate Haller's many contributions to theory and research on social stratification and mobility. All of the chapters respond to Haller's programmatic agenda for stratification research: "A full program aimed at understanding stratification requires: first, that we know what stratification structures consist of and how they may vary; second, that we identify the individual and collective consequences of the different states and rates of change of such structures; and third, seeing that some degree of stratification seems to be present everywhere, that we identify the factors that make stratification structures change." The contributors to this Festschrift address such topics as the changing nature of stratification regimes, the enduring significance of class analysis, the stratifying dimensions of race, ethnicity, and gender, and the interplay between educational systems and labor market outcomes. Many of the chapters adopt an explicitly cross-societal comparative perspective on processes and consequences of social stratification. The volume offers both conceptually and empirically important new analyses of the shape of social stratification.

Book Synopsis Imagination Manifesto by : Ted Turnau
Download or read book Imagination Manifesto written by Ted Turnau and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ted Turnau introduces readers to the major themes of his in-depth Oasis of Imagination by collaborating with Ruth Naomi Floyd. Floyd brings her distinctive experience as a Christian artist to make this a practical guide that distils the "why" and "how" of embracing Christian creative cultural engagement. Why does the church need to pay more attention to the imagination? How can we, in this day and age, best enter our cultural conversations for the common good? How can the local church better support its creatives, enriching its own imaginative life and building bridges to their neighbours and the wider culture? Whether you are a Christian artist or creative yourself, or an everyday Christian searching for a path beyond the culture wars and Christian bubble, Imagination Manifesto will give you biblical foundations, practical pointers, discussion starters, and inspiration for "planting oases" in today's culture.
Book Synopsis Popular Music and Parenting by : Shelley Brunt
Download or read book Popular Music and Parenting written by Shelley Brunt and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Music and Parenting explores the culture of popular music as a shared experience between parents, carers and young children. Offering a critical overview of this topic from a popular music studies perspective, this book expands our assumptions about how young audiences and caregivers engage with music together. Using both case studies and wider analysis, the authors examine music listening and participation between children and parents in both domestic and public settings, ranging across children's music media, digital streaming, live concerts, formal and informal popular music education, music merchandising and song lyrics. Placing young children’s musical engagement in the context of the music industry, changing media technologies, and popular culture, Popular Music and Parenting paints a richly interdisciplinary picture of the intersection of popular music with the parent–child relationship.

Book Synopsis Oasis of Imagination by : Ted Turnau
Download or read book Oasis of Imagination written by Ted Turnau and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should the church's cultural witness be? Too often, it has been marked by political strong-arming or fearful withdrawal into the "Christian bubble." There is another way: creative cultural engagement, using our imaginations to plant oases in the desert, breathable spaces that refresh, challenge, and draw together Christians and non-Christians alike. Oases refresh the soul, provoke discussion, challenge assumptions, and lead the imagination to a new place. In Oasis of Imagination, Ted Turnau lays out the Biblical mandate for engaging culture, and why the imaginative path holds promise. He explores the nature of the imagination from both Scripture and nature. He asks, "What makes a Christian imagination that resonates with non-Christians different?" He explores examples of Christian creativity done well from video games to movies to music to The Lord of the Rings. He challenges the church, artist and non-artist alike, to be intentional about their own imaginative lives, how artists and non-artists can support each other, as they together engage in building bridges and being cultural ambassadors to the wider community. In-depth and wide-ranging, Oasis of Imagination equips and encourages Christians, whatever their calling, to consider how to imaginatively enter into the broader cultural conversation, beyond the culture-warring and Christian bubbles. It seeks to provoke a conversation within the church between its artists and non-artists about how best to unleash our God-given creativity to shine light into the broader culture.
