Book excerpt: Chinese-American students excel in school in the United States and Chinese Americans are described as a â€model minority.†Although many studies exist concerning parents' behaviors and their children's academic achievement, little research has been conducted on parental perceptions of Chinese Americans. This study was designed to explore and investigate the perceptions of high socio-economic Chinese-American parents about their children's academic achievement, home environment, and Chinese language proficiency. This exploratory study employed a mixed-methods design. Survey research methods were used to gather data about parents' background and perceptions of their children, followed by in-depth interviews. The sites for this study were weekend Chinese schools in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. A self-administrated survey, Parental Perceptions Survey, was completed by a random sample of 209 parents (136 parents of G/T students and 73 of average students) from different backgrounds. Ten parents of gifted/talented students participated in the follow-up interviews to probe parental perceptions and activities more deeply. This study opened a window that allowed researchers to better understand the perceptions of the group of Chinese-American parents identified as a â€model minority,†many of whom have children who excel at school. Descriptive statistics indicated that Chinese-American parents had high expectations for their children's educational success, valued education and effort, tended to sacrifice for their children's education, followed a â€training†parenting style, and tried to maintain their unique Chinese heritage and culture. When comparing parental perceptions between different groups (parents of gifted/talented vs. average students, fathers vs. mothers, parents of boys vs. those of girls, and parents of different backgrounds), using MONOVAs followed by ANOVAs procedures, significant differences were found between parents with different occupational status in parental perceptions of their children's academic achievement, and between parents with different income levels in parental perceptions of their children's Chinese language proficiency. Significant differences were also found between the groups of gifted/talented versus average students in parental activities related to academic achievement and Chinese language proficiency. No significant differences were found in other groups. Bivariate correlation analyses indicated that parental perceptions and activities were highly positively correlated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising a child is challenging for many parents, especially for a new, immigrant family. For those parents, they not only have to face the challenges of integrating themselves into a new environment, but they also need to handle the conflicts coming from two cultural backgrounds. Like many Chinese Americans, the authors inherited the traditional Chinese culture. Yet they also opened their minds and embraced their new culture. Through the collisions of these two cultures, they developed a unique parenting strategy: a combination of the best of both worlds to educate their children. This approach offered them a cutting edge in developing their children to be among the most competitive. As they raised their children, they • held parties to build their children’s social groups; • used teamwork to create a harmonious family, strengthening the family bonds; • helped their children excel in academic competitions; • taught their children how to be rigorous and strive for perfection; • inspired their children to explore innovative strategies to overcome obstacles; • developed their children’s creativity, leadership, and initiative; • encouraged their children to be involved in the community; and • gave their children freedom to develop their individual personalities and discover their full potentials. The authors believe that their story will be beneficial to other parents and also provide a new perspective of Chinese American families for mainstream Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the actiotope model of giftedness to integrate a broad range of research, this innovative book features a number of chapters written by internationally recognised scholars in a frank and lively discussion about the origins of exceptionality in students from East Asia. With the actiotope model as the theoretical framework, the book distinguishes between trait models of giftedness and systems approaches to exceptionality. Breaking new ground in understanding the complex interactions between a learner's environment, goals, intelligence and motivations in the development of their ever-expanding knowledge and skill set, this book is essential reading for scholars, undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in the psychological and social basis of exceptionality.
Download or read book Family Literacy Practices in Asian and Latinx Families written by Jorge E. Gonzalez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the literacy beliefs and practices of parents and children from Asian and Latinx heritage backgrounds. In the US, children from Asian and Latinx immigrant backgrounds represent the largest population of dual language learners in schools. While existing research has paid significant attention to the roles of parenting and the home literacy environment on children's literacy development, relatively little attention has been allocated to immigrant families. Chapters aim to meet the need in the field to understand the roles of culture and immigrant experiences on children's literacy learning and development, including immigrant families' home environments and parents' involvement in literacy-related activities in both English and the parents' native language. As Hispanic/Latinx and Asian American populations grow in the US, this book answers an urgent call for school systems and child and family professionals to be aware of issues in this area and how to address them in culturally responsive ways.

Book excerpt: "In this paper we investigate the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on the educational attainment of graduates from a middle school in Dalian, China. Using the prestige level of a high school diploma as a measure of academic achievement, we demonstrate that our sample, contrary to the findings of many studies done in Western contexts, exhibits a negative quadratic relationship between family income and academic achievement. Further, we suggest that this relationship is due in part to the fact that the highest levels of parent, specifically mother, education and parent tutoring rates are located in the middle of the income spectrum. Our research confirms that though effective parent tutoring is, in most contexts, associated more with higher socioeconomic status, it is a powerful mechanism for improving student academic achievement even when no longer coupled with higher levels of parent income."--page i.

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.
