Scenario: Najla - Growing Up As A Muslim In Australia

Post by leaf » Sat Aug 29, 2015 6:54 pm

National Scientific Council on the developing child. (2004:1 young children develop in an environment of relationships. Working paper No 1, believes that 'young children experience their world as an environment of relationships, and these relationships affect virtually all aspects of their development.'

What rationale is provided to support this statement?

Scenario:
"Najla (9months) is our first child and she was born in Australia. I want her to know her culture and her roots. I want her to speak our language and grow to be a good Muslim woman. I have to work so that we can buy a home. Najla goes to family day care with a carer from our own culture. This is important to me - she teaches Najla our ways."

Najla will grow up in Australia as an Australian with a strong sense of her family's culture of origin. How will this assist Najla to face the challenges of growing up with dual culture?

-Knowing that both cultures are import any to her and her family
-Being able to continue to be a good Muslim women in an Australian culture
