Book Synopsis Differences in Observed Parenting Behaviors of Latino and Non-Latino Caregivers by : Amber K. Dean
Download or read book Differences in Observed Parenting Behaviors of Latino and Non-Latino Caregivers written by Amber K. Dean and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos are the fastest growing population in the United States and experience serious economic, educational, and health disparities compared to non-Latino populations. Consistent, high-quality parenting can help protect children from the influence of such disparities. Parenting interventions can work with caregivers to improve the quality of parenting. However, most interventions are built upon theories and research based on predominantly White, middle-class samples, and may therefore not be optimal when used with minority populations. This study examined the parenting behaviors of Latino and non-Latino caregivers during interactions with their young children. The purpose was to develop a more detailed understanding of the similarities and differences in parenting practices of Latino and non-Latino caregivers in order to inform decisions about interventions and programs to support quality parenting among Latino families in the United States. Structured observations were conducted using the Keys to Interactive Parenting Scale, which focuses on 12 parenting behaviors known to be important for child development. The sample consisted of 1,474 child-caregiver dyads who were participating in early childhood programs for at-risk children and families in Kansas. Results indicated small differences in six parenting behaviors, but revealed more similarities than differences overall. Contrary to previous research, there was no indication that Latino caregivers in this study exhibited more authoritarian parenting than non-Latino caregivers. An unexpected finding was that parenting behaviors were more strongly associated with demographic factors, such as income and education, for non-Latino caregivers than for Latino caregivers. Results were both consistent and inconsistent with previous research on Latino parenting. Future research should examine these parenting behaviors against the backdrop of participants' generation status, country of origin, and acculturation level.

Book Synopsis Immigrant Families by : Cecilia Menjívar
Download or read book Immigrant Families written by Cecilia Menjívar and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant Families aims to capture the richness, complexity, and diversity that characterize contemporary immigrant families in the United States. In doing so, it reaffirms that the vast majority of people do not migrate as isolated individuals, but are members of families. There is no quintessential immigrant experience, as immigrants and their families arrive with different levels of economic, social, and cultural resources, and must navigate various social structures that shape how they fare. Immigrant Families highlights the hierarchies and inequities between and within immigrant families created by key axes of inequality such as legal status, social class, gender, and generation. Drawing on ethnographic, demographic, and historical scholarship, the authors highlight the transnational context in which many contemporary immigrant families live, exploring how families navigate care, resources, expectations, and aspirations across borders. Ultimately, the book analyzes how dynamics at the individual, family, and community levels shape the life chances and wellbeing of immigrants and their families. As the United States turns its attention to immigration as a critical social issue, Immigrant Families encourages students, scholars, and policy makers to center family in their discussions, thereby prioritizing the human and relational element of human mobility.
Book Synopsis Mother-Child Interactions Among Latino Families and European-American Families in Relation to Children's Language Outcomes by : Katie Christiansen
Download or read book Mother-Child Interactions Among Latino Families and European-American Families in Relation to Children's Language Outcomes written by Katie Christiansen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Latino families in the United States is increasing dramatically. For some of the children in these families, the acquisition of reading skills is hampered by inadequate early language development. Early language development is a key predictor of reading success. Identifying ways in which parents in these families can help children acquire early language skills will better prepare them for acquiring reading skills. This study used a new parenting measure, PICCOLO, to identify parenting behaviors that are related to children's language development. The primary focus of this project was on Spanish-speaking Latino families, but a group of English-speaking European-American families was used as a contrast group. Parenting behaviors, parenting differences between cultures, and relations between PICCOLO data and children's language outcomes were explored. Results indicated that there were fewer correlations between parenting behaviors of Latino parents and children's language than there were between European American parents and children's behavior. Behaviors that were related to children's language for Latino families were combined into a factor that significantly predicted children's language. The behaviors that made up this factor seemed to be from an aspect of parenting that could be described as "hands-off responsiveness."
Book Synopsis Language Brokering, Interactional Styles and Parental Behaviors Among Latino Families by : Christina Marie Granillo
Download or read book Language Brokering, Interactional Styles and Parental Behaviors Among Latino Families written by Christina Marie Granillo and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the parental behaviors and parent-child interactions of both language brokering and non-language brokering families of Mexican descent. The parent-child relationship of language brokering families has been an area of interest within the literature. While previous studies have examined some aspects of the parent-child relationship of language brokers no study has observed language brokers interacting with their families. This study proposed differences between language brokering parent-child dyads and non-language brokering dyads based on the bioecological model. Latino language brokering children and their parents are embedded in familial, community, and societal spheres that are different than non-language brokering Latino children and their families due to their immigrant status. Participants were 50 language brokering Latino families and 47 non-language brokering Latino families all of Mexican descent with children in the fifth grade. In language brokering families there were 30 girls and 20 boys. In non-language brokering families there were 24 girls and 23 boys. Parents completed questionnaires consisting of demographic information and the Children's Report of Parent Behavior Inventory. Mothers only completed the Language Broker Scale via a phone interview. All three family members participated in a videotaped interaction in which they discussed family issues. Dyadic interactions were coded using the Iowa Family Interaction Rating Scales. Results for both mothers and fathers found that language brokering parents endorsed parental behaviors that help facilitate their children's language brokering role. Simultaneously, language brokering parents also endorsed parental behaviors that allowed then to retain control as parents. When parent-child dyads were observed and coded differences were found based on whether the child was a language broker and child's gender. These findings were only found for warmth/support and antisocial observed behaviors. The results are discussed in relation to rules and norms of language brokering teams and to values in which Mexican families are embedded.
Book Synopsis A Parenting Program for Latino Immigrant Families by : Eva Luna-Felix (Graduate student)
Download or read book A Parenting Program for Latino Immigrant Families written by Eva Luna-Felix (Graduate student) and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Positive parent-child relationships are shown to improve the overall well-being of the child and parent by reducing parental stress and increasing the likelihood of success for the child. Positive parent-child relationships can also reduce the risk of child abuse and maltreatment. The purpose of this project was to design a parenting program to meet the specific needs of the Latino immigrant population, to identify potential funding sources, and to complete a grant application to fund a new parenting program for community mental health centers located in Los Angeles County Service Planning Area 6 (SPA 6). The proposed program components will include workshops on psychoeducation, a support group for parents, linkage to a therapist for the parent(s), and resource fairs. This 8-week program will provide services to parents of children ages 0-16. A comprehensive literature search was completed to identify risk factors and protective factors for this community and identify the effectiveness of current parenting programs. The grant proposal is for research learning purposes only, and therefore the application will not be submitted for the successful completion of this project.

Book Synopsis Child Welfare Practice with Immigrant Children and Families by : Alan Dettlaff
Download or read book Child Welfare Practice with Immigrant Children and Families written by Alan Dettlaff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in immigrant families represent nearly one-fourth of all children living in the United States. As this population of children has increased, so has their representation among children involved in child welfare and related systems. Once immigrant families come to the attention of these systems, they often have multiple and complex needs that must be addressed to ensure children’s safety and well-being. Culturally competent practice with Latino, Asian, and African immigrants requires that professionals understand the impact of immigration and acculturation on immigrant families to conduct adequate assessments and provide interventions that respond appropriately to their needs. Professionals also need to be familiar with federal and state policies that affect immigrant families and how those policies may affect service delivery. At the system level, child welfare agencies need to educate and train a culturally competent workforce that responds appropriately to children and families from diverse cultures. This book addresses these critical issues and provides recommendations for the development of culturally competent assessment, intervention, and prevention activities in child welfare agencies. This information can be used as a resource by child welfare administrators, practitioners, and students to improve the child welfare system’s response to immigrant children and families and promote culturally competent practice. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Public Child Welfare.
Book Synopsis Gender Roles in Immigrant Families by : Susan S. Chuang
Download or read book Gender Roles in Immigrant Families written by Susan S. Chuang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers recognize that theoretical frameworks and models of child development and family dynamics have historically overlooked the ways in which developmental processes are shaped by socio-cultural contexts. Ecological and acculturation frameworks are especially central to understanding the experiences of immigrant populations, and current research has yielded new conceptual and methodological tools for documenting the cultural and developmental processes of children and their families. Within this broad arena, a question of central importance is on how gender roles in immigrant families play out in the lives of children and families. Gender Roles in Immigrant Families places gender at the forefront of the research by investigating how it interplays with parental roles, parent–child relationships, and child outcomes.

Book Synopsis Bridging Cultures by : Carrie Rothstein-Fisch
Download or read book Bridging Cultures written by Carrie Rothstein-Fisch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-10-17 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging Cultures: Teacher Education Module is a professional development resource for teacher educators and staff developers to help preservice and in-service teachers become knowledgeable about cultural differences and understand ways of bridging the expectations of school settings with those of the home. In a nonthreatening, cognitively meaningful way, the Module is based on teacher-constructed and tested strategies to improve home-school communication and parent involvement. These innovations were developed as part of the Bridging Cultures Project, which explores the cultural value differences between the individualistic orientation of mainstream U.S. schools and the collectivistic orientation of many immigrant families. The goal of the Bridging Cultures Project is to support and help teachers in their work with students and families from immigrant cultures. The centerpiece of the Module is training resources, including an outline, an agenda, and a well-tested three-hour script designed as a lecture-discussion with structured opportunities for guided dialogue and small-group discussion. Throughout the script, "Facilitators Notes" annotate presentation suggestions and oversized margins encourage integration of the facilitator's personal experiences in presenting and adapting the Module. Ideas for using the Readings for Bridging Cultures are provided. A section of overhead transparencies and handout masters is included. The Module also provides a discussion of the role of culture in education and the constructs of individualism and collectivism, an overview of the effects of the Bridging Cultures Project, and evaluation results of the author's use of the Module in two sections of a preservice teacher education course. Bridging Cultures: Teacher Education Module brings the successful processes and practices of the Bridging Cultures Project to a larger audience in college courses and in professional development arenas. Designed for use in one or two class sessions, the Module can be incorporated in courses on educational psychology, child development, counseling psychology, and any others that deal with culture in education.
Book Synopsis Cross-Cultural Roots of Minority Child Development by : Patricia M. Greenfield
Download or read book Cross-Cultural Roots of Minority Child Development written by Patricia M. Greenfield and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-Cultural Roots of Minority Child Development was the first volume to analyze minority child development by comparing minority children to children in their ancestral countries, rather than to children in the host culture. It was a ground-breaking volume that not only offered an historical reconstruction of the cross-cultural roots of minority child development, but a new cultural-historical approach to developmental psychology as well. It was also one of the best attempts to develop guidelines for building models of development that are multicultural in perspective, thus challenging scholars across the behavioral sciences to give more credence to the impact of culture on development and socialization in their respective fields of work. A true classic, Cross-Cultural Roots of Minority Child Development will remain an essential resource for any scholar who is interested in minority child development and engages in cross-cultural research and multidisciplinary methodologies.
