Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine stress and general self-efficacy among Latino immigrant parents in California. This was achieved through quantitative cross-sectional research. The results revealed that the older Latino immigrant parents indicated higher perceived stress. Living in the United States for a longer period was associated with a higher general self-efficacy. Past or current fear of deportation was associated with higher perceived stress. Latino immigrant parents in the lowest income categories indicated higher perceived stress, as did those with a greater number of children. Latino immigrant parents who reported a smaller household size indicated greater general self-efficacy. The results may be beneficial to families, professionals, and agencies so that they may better understand and help Latino immigrant parents and their families and work to implement programs specifically for this population.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to explore parental self-efficacy among Honduran immigrant mothers of school age children in the United States (U.S.). The phenomenon of parental self-efficacy is defined as a parent’s belief in his or herself to raise his or her own children with high standards and aspirations of a successful future. Purposeful sampling was used to secure eleven participants meeting the following criteria: Honduran born woman, 18 years or older, immigrant living in southwestern Virginia (SW VA) between 3 months and 12 years, and the mother of a school age child. This study was examined through Bandura’s social cognitive theory, Park’s theory of acculturation and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The following research questions were used to guide this study: (a) How do the experiences of Honduran immigrant mothers transitioning their children into public schools in southwestern SW VA impact their parental self-efficacy? (b) What is the role of cultural identity on the parental self-efficacy of Honduran immigrant mothers living in SW VA concerning the education of their school age children? (c) What supports do Honduran immigrant mothers identify as influential as they transition their children into public schools in SW VA? (d) How has the parental self-efficacy of Honduran immigrant mothers living in SW VA changed throughout the acculturation process? Focus groups, a parental self-efficacy scale, and individual interviews were the sources of data collection. Findings indicated that a majority of the participants showed an increase in parental self-efficacy the longer they lived in the U.S. despite the insecurities that developed as a result of their experiences.

Download or read book The Impact of Parenting Style on Latinos Level of Education and Self efficacy written by Mariabril Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Latinos, the largest minority group in the United States, have the lowest level of college degree attainment relative to the total population. Education is often an indicator for future prospects in society. The present study examined how different parenting styles among Latino families affect individual's development in terms of self-efficacy and academic achievement as an adult. The study included 199 participants between the ages of 25-79. The results indicated a significant negative relationship between permissive parenting and the participants' level of education. The results also indicated a positive correlation between both parents' level of education and the participants' level of education. Additionally, the study found that later generation Latinos reported higher levels of education than first generation. The implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

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.
Download or read book The Relationship Between Acculturation Parenting Style and Parental Adherence to Traditional Cultural Values Among Padres Mexicanos written by Nayeli Yesenia Chavez Duenas and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was threefold. First, this study examined the relationships among acculturation, parenting style, and adherence to traditional Latino cultural values including: familism, personalismo, compadrazgo, marianismo, and machismo in a sample of Mexican-descent parents residing in the United States. Second, associations among traditional Latino parenting values: obediencia, respeto, and simpatía, and acculturation were analyzed. Finally, statistical analyses were conducted to analyze the internal consistency of a measure designed to assess respeto, obediencia, and simpatía among Mexican parents. Fifty seven interviews were conducted with parents of Mexican descent in two locations, one in an urban area and one in a rural town. Results indicated that parents who were more familiar and engaged in practices of the Mexican culture were more likely have higher scores on the scale assessing authoritarian parenting style and less likely to endorse items on the permissive parenting style scale. Moreover, parents who reported higher monthly income per capita had higher scores on the permissive parenting style scale. Permissive parenting style was predicted by socioeconomic status and adherence to the US American culture. However, neither socioeconomic status nor acculturation to the Anglo culture predicted levels of authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles. Results also suggested that parents with lower levels of acculturation endorsed higher levels of personalismo . On the other hand, parents who were more oriented toward the Mexican culture were more likely to report practicing compadrazgo and to obtain higher scores on the scale assessing personalismo . Finally, the internal consistency of the three subscales of the Respeto Obediencia and Simpatía Assessment Scale (ROSAS) for Latino parents was supported by the results of the present study. Implications for future research and for counselors working with parents and children of Mexican descent are discussed.

Book excerpt: Parental involvement in education has been identified as a key contributing factor to positive student achievement and success. Despite this fact, lack of parental involvement in relation to school sponsored events continues to be one of the leading concerns schools in the United States face, especially among Spanish-speaking immigrant parents. Through the voices of six Spanish-speaking immigrant families residing in the San Joaquin Valley of California, this study sought to understand how Spanish-speaking immigrant families make sense of their parenting practices and their involvement in the academic life of their children. Four themes emerged from the data analysis: sacrifice as a parent’s act to benefit future generations, living and parenting in two cultural worlds, parenting styles, and the role of parents as learners of a second language. We found that parents deeply care about their children’s wellbeing and academic performance; however, contextual factors (e.g., job demands, financial constraints, lack of English language expertise) play against parents’ desire to have a stronger presence on their children’s academic experiences. The disadvantaged conditions under which Spanish-speaking immigrant parents construct their everyday lives creates conditions of vulnerability that can affect the opportunities for sustained and active parental engagement in their children’s school experiences. Implications for practice and opportunities for further research are discussed based on the findings.

Download or read book Latino Children and Families in the United States written by Josefina M. Contreras and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-09-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States continues to grow and now represents 12% of the population. Yet, remarkably little attention has been paid to understanding parenting and child development processes among Latino families. Although research on Latino parenting is beginning to emerge, the field is in need of further structure and direction. This volume addresses this need and advances the field both by presenting state-of-the-art research on Latino parenting and also by proposing conceptual and methodological frameworks that can provide the field with further integration and direction. In addition to presenting innovative research examining parental beliefs and practices of Latino families from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, authors provide frameworks for identifying the origins of these beliefs and practices, and provide a rich picture of both the values that can be considered Latino and the social and demographic normative and at-risk Latino samples. Finally, methodological and conceptual recommendations for future research on each cited area, as well as the field, are presented.
Download or read book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother written by Amy Chua and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what Chinese parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it... Amy Chua's daughters, Sophia and Louisa (Lulu) were polite, interesting and helpful, they had perfect school marks and exceptional musical abilities. The Chinese-parenting model certainly seemed to produce results. But what happens when you do not tolerate disobedience and are confronted by a screaming child who would sooner freeze outside in the cold than be forced to play the piano? Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old. Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.
Download or read book Hispanic Immigrant Parental Messages of Resiliency and Emotional Regulation to Their Children written by Rodrigo Velezmoro and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-part study examined the adjustment of Hispanic immigrants. Part one examined the communication that occurs between Hispanic immigrant parents and their adolescents/young adults about life in the United States (U.S.). It also examined how attitudes toward the U.S. and various protective factors influence psychological adjustment. Hispanic immigrants (n = 123) with an average of 11 years living in the United States and their adolescents/young adults between the ages of 14-22 served as participants. For both parents and their adolescents/young adults, favorable attitudes toward the U.S. were associated with improved psychological adjustment. Contrary to prediction, attitudes toward the U.S. did not correlate with quality of life or life satisfaction for either family member. Further, results indicated that among adolescents/young adults, resiliency predicted positive U.S. attitudes, whereas among parents, openness to new experiences predicted favorable attitudes toward the U.S. Finally, parental views of the U.S. correlated positively with their adolescents'/young adults' views of the U.S. In an extension of the study, 37 Hispanic college students who were either immigrants or children of immigrants were randomly assigned to either a control condition or a psychoeducation condition. The psychoeducation condition focused on improving their emotional regulation and views of the United States. No significant differences were found among the groups.
Download or read book Parenting Stress written by Kirby Deater-Deckard and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All parents experience stress as they attempt to meet the challenges of caring for their children. This comprehensive book examines the causes and consequences of parenting distress, drawing on a wide array of findings in current empirical research. Kirby Deater-Deckard explores normal and pathological parenting stress, the influences of parents on their children as well as children on their parents, and the effects of biological and environmental factors. Beginning with an overview of theories of stress and coping, Deater-Deckard goes on to describe how parenting stress is linked with problems in adult and child health (emotional problems, developmental disorders, illness); parental behaviors (warmth, harsh discipline); and factors outside the family (marital quality, work roles, cultural influences). The book concludes with a useful review of coping strategies and interventions that have been demonstrated to alleviate parenting stress.
Download or read book Children of Immigrants written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-11-12 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant children and youth are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, and so their prospects bear heavily on the well-being of the country. Children of Immigrants represents some of the very best and most extensive research efforts to date on the circumstances, health, and development of children in immigrant families and the delivery of health and social services to these children and their families. This book presents new, detailed analyses of more than a dozen existing datasets that constitute a large share of the national system for monitoring the health and well-being of the U.S. population. Prior to these new analyses, few of these datasets had been used to assess the circumstances of children in immigrant families. The analyses enormously expand the available knowledge about the physical and mental health status and risk behaviors, educational experiences and outcomes, and socioeconomic and demographic circumstances of first- and second-generation immigrant children, compared with children with U.S.-born parents.
Download or read book Valuing Education written by Gregory Sean O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Latino parents are often characterized by educators as uninvolved in school and the formal education of their children because they do not value education. While research indicates otherwise, stereotypes still exist among many educators that one reason Latinos do poorly in school is because they do not care. Masked behind stereotypes is the significant variation in levels of parent involvement in education among U.S. Latinos. The literature does not address why parents with similar socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds respond to schools in such distinct ways. This ethnographic case study addresses variation in the involvement of Mexican immigrant mothers by focusing on how some use their cultured capacities to construct strategies of action in the formal education of their children in the United States. The implications for policy and practice include a greater understanding of why some Mexican immigrant parents routinely participate in the school affairs of their children while others with similar characteristics and backgrounds do not; and how institutions, like schools, may have the means to impact the strategies of action chosen by parents through the use of widely disseminated semiotic codes. This study also finds that culture's role in the participation of Mexican immigrant parents could not fully be accounted for in Epstein's (1995, 2001) Six Types of Involvement for Parents. Socializing was identified as a seventh type of involvement that may actually serve as a catalyst for involvement in the other six types and a means for strengthening home-school connections. In addition, a significant finding not seen elsewhere in the literature was an overwhelming amount of evidence that the majority of Mexican immigrant mothers in this study believed that schools were better in Mexico than the U.S. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest llc.

Download or read book The Immigrant Paradox in Children and Adolescents written by Cynthia T. García Coll and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2012 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many academic and public policies promote rapid immigrant assimilation. Yet, researchers have recently identified an emerging pattern, known as the immigrant paradox, in which assimilated children of immigrants experience diminishing developmental outcomes and educational achievements. This volume examines these controversial findings by asking how and why highly acculturated youth may fare worse academically and developmentally than their less assimilated peers, and under what circumstances this pattern is disrupted. This timely compilation of original research is aimed at understanding how acculturation affects immigrant child and adolescent development. Chapters explore the question "Is Becoming American a Developmental Risk?" through a variety of lenses--psychological, sociological, educational, and economic. Contributors compare differential health, behavioral, and educational outcomes for foreign- and native-born children of immigrants across generations. While economic and social disparities continue to present challenges impeding child and adolescent development, particularly for U.S.-born children of immigrants, findings in this book point to numerous benefits of biculturalism and bilingualism to preserve immigrants' strengths.
