Parenting in the Pew

"Parenting in the Pew" refers to the influence of religious institutions, particularly churches, on family life and child-rearing practices. It highlights how religious teachings, community involvement, and church-led activities shape parenting styles, moral values, and behaviors in children. This concept is especially relevant in the U.S., where religious communities often serve as social supports that impact parental decisions and children's development. It emphasizes the role of faith-based environments in fostering family cohesion, moral guidance, and community engagement within the context of modern parenting.
