Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many researchers agree on a general definition of acculturation, the conceptualization and measurement of acculturation remain controversial. To address the issues, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) sponsored a conference that brought together scholars who work to define and develop assessments of acculturation, and who study the impact of acculturation on families. The goals of the conference were to evaluate both the status of acculturation as a scientific construct and the roles of acculturation in parenting and human development. The goal of this volume is to advance the state-of-the-art. Acculturation and Parent-Child Relationships: Measurement and Development is a must-read for researchers, students, and policymakers concerned with cultural factors that affect the lives of parents and children.
Download or read book Parental Roles and Relationships in Immigrant Families written by Susan S. Chuang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful volume presents important new findings about parenting and parent-child relationships in ethnic and racial minority immigrant families. Prominent scholars in diverse fields focus on families from a wide range of ethnicities settling in Canada, China, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United States. Each chapter discusses parenting and parent-child relationships in a broader cultural context, presenting within-group and cross-cultural data that provide readers with a rich understanding of parental values, beliefs, and practices that influence children’s developmental outcomes in a new country. For example, topics of investigation include cultural variation in the role of fathers, parenting of young children across cultures, the socialization of academic and emotional development, as well as the interrelationships among stress, acculturation processes, and parent-child relationship dynamics. This timely reference: • explores immigration and families from a global, multidisciplinary perspective; • focuses on immigrant children and youth in the family context;• challenges long-held assumptions about parenting and immigrant families;• bridges the knowledge gap between immigrant and non-immigrant family studies;• describes innovative methodologies for studying immigrant family relationships; and• establishes the relevance of these data to the wider family literature. Parental Roles and Relationships in Immigrant Families is not only useful to researchers and to family therapists and social workers attending to immigrant families, but also highly informative for persons interested in shaping immigration policy at the local, national, and global levels.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about the factors related to the quality of parent-chld relationships in Asian immigrant families. Hence, the present study was conducted to examine the associations between the parent-child acculturative gap, quality of communication, and quality of parent-child relationships in a sample of 141 Asian American adolescents. Contrary to previous research, the parent-child acculturative gap did not correlate with quality of parent-child relationship. In contrast, communication was highly correlated with relationship quality. Parent-child acculturative gap and communication were negatively correlated in mother-child relationships but had no significant correlation in father-child relationships. Associations between variables did not differ between male and female adolescents or between mother-child and father-child relationships.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant families prone to poverty may have a difficult time acculturating to American society. Children and parents often vary in levels of acculturation which contributes to parent-child conflict. Children who are a part of these families have a higher chance of being involved with the child welfare system (Johnson, 2007). Thus, it is imperative to evaluate this dynamic and work towards stabilizing future outcomes in these parent-child relationships. The current study explores the stresses and strains related to acculturation and how mothers and daughters cope through semi-structured interviews with seven women of Caribbean descent living in a borough of New York City. Findings indicate that living in a predominantly immigrant community has slowed the process of Acculturation for both the mother and daughter thus preserving their Caribbean culture.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

They include learning by example, schooling, disciplining, coping skills, behavioural practices, eating habits, communication skills, conflict management and a plethora of other actions. This book presents new research in this dynamic field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blend of on-the-ground reporting and personal anecdotes that weaves a tapestry of the immigrant experience, multicultural parenting, and identity in the US Through her own stories and interviews with other immigrant families, award-winning journalist Masha Rumer paints a realistic and compassionate picture of what it’s like for immigrant parents raising a child in America while honoring their cultural identities. Parenting with an Accent speaks to immigrant and non-immigrant readers alike, incorporating a diverse collection of voices and experiences to provide an intimate look at the lives of many different immigrant families across the country. With a compelling blend of empirical data, humor, and on-the-ground reportage, Rumer presents interviews with experts on various aspects of parenting as an immigrant, including the challenges of acculturation, bilingualism strategies, and childcare. She visits a children’s Amharic class at an Ethiopian church in New York, a California vegetable farm, a Persian immersion school, and more. Through these stories, she opens a window to a world of parenting unique to multicultural families. Immigrant readers will appreciate Rumer’s gentle message about the kind of ethnic and cultural ambivalence that is born of having roots planted in many different soils, while in these pages non-immigrants get a fly-on-the-wall view of the unique experiences of newcomers. Deeply researched yet personal, Parenting with an Accent centers immigrants and their experiences in a new country—emphasizing how immigrants and their children remain an integral part of America’s story.
Download or read book The Relationship Between Parent child Acculturation and Enculturation Family Functioning and Problem Behavior Among a Sample of Latino Youth written by Blanca Luz Orellana-Roldán and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of children experiencing behavior problems within the schools is increasing at alarming rates. Although research has contributed significantly to further understanding the development of conduct or behavioral problems, it has been somewhat limited in its investigation of culture related factors pertaining to Latino students. It has been suggested that the processes of acculturation may contribute to the development of behavior problems among Latino youth. This link is most often attributed to discrepancies in parent-child acculturation levels that result when children acculturate at a faster rate than their parents, leading to increased family conflict, parent-child alienation, and youth maladjustment. The purpose of the current study was to extend this research by examining the link between both acculturation and enculturation to problem behavior and testing specific family processes as mediators in a sample of 199 Latino youth and their families. The results supported a mediational model and indicated that family supervision, but not family conflict, played a significant mediational role in children's problem behavior. In addition, while acculturation was not related to any of the cultural or behavioral variables, findings support the potential protective function of child enculturation on the development of problem behavior. The implications of these findings are discussed, as well as limitations of the study and directions for future research.
