| Sumario: | The writers discuss the meaning of social class in the lives of families in the U.S. They explore how social class can lead family members to assign different meanings and values to their behaviors and life circumstances, and they address the importance of social class as a critical issue to be considered by family life educators as they seek to support families. They reveal that there are important class differences in family processes and interventions that have been overlooked in the design of family life education programs and argue that progress in creating effective family life education will only be possible with increased attention to social class variations. |
