Young with a heart for family: What young people really think about families

Today's youth: hip, rebellious and attached to family What do today's young people think about family and extended family? What do they find important? What kind of family do young people dream of for themselves? We talk about young people too easily in stereotypes. Young people are 'naive', they live in their own world. Or they are just a nuisance. That image is incorrect. This book bundles the responses of dozens of young people to the question of how they feel about their family and what kind of family they dream of for themselves. Time and again, their testimonies show how strongly young people are committed, to their family but also to their neighbourhood and their environment. Young with a heart for family brings well-founded research results and recognisable stories of young people from diverse and flexible families of today. No problem, loitering or radicalising young people, but ordinary girls and boys who will shape the families of tomorrow.
