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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Latino immigrant families are a population facing great risks which can severely impact their overall well-being. Evidence suggests that parent education and social support programs are an effective way for decreasing some of those risks. The purpose of this project was to identify a potential parenting program, seek potential funding sources to implement such program, and write a grant to fund the parenting program for Aurora Elementary School in the city of Los Angeles, California. The Strengthening Families Program was chosen after revision of best practices in parenting programs for Latino families found in the literature. The program is designed as a group with parenting education, social support, substance use prevention, and parent-child interaction components. The Joseph Drown Foundation was identified as the potential funding source. Social Work implications are discussed. The actual submission and/or funding of this grant was not a requirement for the successful completion of this project.
Book Synopsis Home Visiting for At-Risk Preschoolers by : M. Angela Nievar
Download or read book Home Visiting for At-Risk Preschoolers written by M. Angela Nievar and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) program promotes school readiness by providing services directly to parents through home visitation. This study describes the outcomes of the HIPPY program for Latino immigrant families in a large Southwestern city. A quasi-experimental design compared 48 families on the program waiting list with 48 families who had completed at least 6 months of home visits. All participants spoke Spanish, although 3% were bilingual. Data on parenting self-efficacy, maternal depression, parenting practices, children's behaviors and language skills, and contextual factors were collected using the Parenting Stress Index, Parental Involvement and Efficacy, Center for Epidemiological Survey-Depression, Marital Conflict Scale, Marital Satisfaction, Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment, Child Behavior Checklist, and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test. Independent t tests showed significant differences between program participants and the control group on the home environment, marital satisfaction, parental efficacy, and attachment-related stress. Two multiple regressions indicated a positive program effect on the home environment and children's receptive vocabulary, controlling for income, maternal depression, and contextual factors. The significant effect of the intervention on the total home environment is an outcome consistent with the HIPPY program's goal of empowering parents as their children's first teacher. Home visiting helps to fill the gap between the investment of immigrant parents in their children's education and their ability to prepare their children to navigate the American school system. The success of this program may be partially due to program delivery by members of the same community as participants, particularly native speakers of their language. This study also drew attention to mental health issues for this population as 20% of study participants scored in the clinical range Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), indicating an intervention focus in this area should be considered.

Download or read book Mi Padre written by Sarah Gallo and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mi Padre centers on the promise of parent involvement practices that build upon the range of linguistic and sociocultural resources that Latin immigrant students and their families bring to school. Through the experiences of Mexican immigrant fathers and their children, this book illustrates the need for humanizing family engagement. Gallo identifies the many ways these fathers contribute to their children’s education and how educators can communicate more effectively with immigrant families. Mi Padre also shows the consequences of deportation-based immigration policies on elementary school education and offers strategies for supporting students and their families in the classroom. The author stresses the importance of learning from and with families and offers practical suggestions for how to build relationships with all caregivers as a counterpractice to the one-size-fits-all schooling that many teachers, students, and families experience today. “By highlighting fathers with a deep longing for the benefits and opportunities that a good education can offer their children, Sarah Gallo has documented how these men redefine what it means to be engaged in their children’s schooling. Teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and others will all benefit from this beautiful and powerful book.” —Sonia Nieto, professor emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst “A compelling and lucid example of activist scholarship rooted in rigorous ethnographic inquiry . . . a must-read for pre- and inservice teachers grappling with how to work in solidarity with families that are threatened by racism and exclusionary notions of citizenship.” —Gerald Campano, University of Pennsylvania, author of Partnering with Immigrant Communities

Book Synopsis A Case Study of Immigrant Latino Parents who Use a Newcomer Placement Center in an Urban District by : Dalia Gutierrez Hale
Download or read book A Case Study of Immigrant Latino Parents who Use a Newcomer Placement Center in an Urban District written by Dalia Gutierrez Hale and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined a Newcomer Placement Center as a promising model for effectively meeting the unique needs of immigrant families to connect with schools and other programs and agencies in the community. Latino immigrant families, particularly where English is not the primary language used in the home, may be unsure of the education and support services available to their children. Latino immigrant parents naturally use their accumulated and culturally developed bodies of knowledge and skills so they can successfully navigate the U.S. public education system. Newcomer Placement Centers allow immigrant families to demonstrate their knowledge because they know their children and what is best for them. Documents collected during the intake and placement of students and in-depth interviews with six immigrant parents who used the district's Newcomer Placement Center between July and December 2008 were analyzed. Documents and interviews indicated families who used the Center made positive associations with the bilingual staff who assisted them as a result of building and using social capital. Immigrant families looked for assurances they made the right decision in their move to a new community. Parents were cooperative, forthcoming, and honest with sharing often-sensitive information about themselves and their children in order to meet the challenges of going to U.S. schools. Latino immigrant families were determined to make life better for themselves and their children in spite of tremendous barriers they encountered. Their resiliency in addition to their funds of knowledge allowed parents to help get their children to begin their education in a new community through the use of the Newcomer Placement Center which may serve as an effective model to other school districts that serve and communicate with parents of Latino immigrant families as well as immigrants from other countries.

Book Synopsis Creating Futures by : María del Carmen Aragonés Guarro
Download or read book Creating Futures written by María del Carmen Aragonés Guarro and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite more than half a century of debate about parental involvement in the education of children, it still remains an evolving and elusive topic. While much is written about Latino immigrants and U.S. schooling, much less is known from the parents' perspectives. This qualitative case study explores the experiences and perspectives of immigrant parents in an early childhood Latino parent education program and the impact of this non-formal educational program on their role as parents. Theoretical lenses for this study are transformative learning (Mezirow, 1978) and popular education (Freire, 1970). Findings demonstrate that: (a) a context of isolation impacts parents' roles and learning experience; (b) a nurturing and safe space for learning is critical for transformative learning; and (c) transformation is evident in parents as they move from self-doubt and fear to self-confidence, understanding and determination. The role of context, emotions, and the spiral nature of the process are key factors of transformative learning. Educators and organizations are to provide systematic support to sustain the transformative processes engaged by parents. Policy makers and private funders need to facilitate funds.
Book Synopsis Migrant Youth, Transnational Families, and the State by : Lauren Heidbrink
Download or read book Migrant Youth, Transnational Families, and the State written by Lauren Heidbrink and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, more than half a million migrant children journey from countries around the globe and enter the United States with no lawful immigration status; many of them have no parent or legal guardian to provide care and custody. Yet little is known about their experiences in a nation that may simultaneously shelter children while initiating proceedings to deport them, nor about their safety or well-being if repatriated. Migrant Youth, Transnational Families, and the State examines the draconian immigration policies that detain unaccompanied migrant children and draws on U.S. historical, political, legal, and institutional practices to contextualize the lives of children and youth as they move through federal detention facilities, immigration and family courts, federal foster care programs, and their communities across the United States and Central America. Through interviews with children and their families, attorneys, social workers, policy-makers, law enforcement, and diplomats, anthropologist Lauren Heidbrink foregrounds the voices of migrant children and youth who must navigate the legal and emotional terrain of U.S. immigration policy. Cast as victims by humanitarian organizations and delinquents by law enforcement, these unauthorized minors challenge Western constructions of child dependence and family structure. Heidbrink illuminates the enduring effects of immigration enforcement on its young charges, their families, and the state, ultimately questioning whose interests drive decisions about the care and custody of migrant youth.
Book Synopsis Children of Immigrants by : National Research Council
Download or read book Children of Immigrants written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-10-12 with total page 672 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.

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.
