This resource provides a snapshot of some of the values, beliefs and practices informing the “growing up” of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Examining both traditional and contemporary child rearing practices, Growing Up Our Way provides a few examples – collected from the literature around Australia – of the ways in which children are being raised. A strengths-based perspective grounded the research in documenting how children are raised strong in self, proud in culture.
