Parents ' socialization goals refers to parents ' beliefs about the qualities and skills that their children should develop in the process of growing up. According to the ecocultural theory, socialization goals are the beginning level of parenting strategies (criti - PI). Multiple studies have shown parental socialization goals and their conceptions of good parenting become clear around the same time (criti - PI). Parents ' perceptions actually motivate and guild their parenting behaviors. Cultural priorities are inseparably associated with parenting strategies. Parents who have different cultural background may emphasize different values have been widely documented.
The independence (individualism) and interdependence (collectivism) are two

Parents with immigrant background may go through a complex process of acculturation. As a result, they endorse a mixed belief system which includes both individualistic socialization goals and collectivistic socialization goals. To determine how parenting and parents’ socialization goals may shaped by migration experiences, Graf and his colleagues (2014) recruited 40 German parents, 40 Mongolian parents who lived in Germany and 40 Mongolian parents who lived in Mongolia. German parents who participated in this study were older and had more children than other groups. By asking parents to complete online questionnaires, both parenting behavior and parents’ socialization goals were assessed at the same time. The results confirmed the expected cultural differences of the German group and the Mongolian group as related to different cultural emphases on independent and interdependent values. However, when faced socialization goals which are highly valued in interdependent cultures, compare to Mongolian parents who lived in native country, Mongolian parents who lived in Germany rated these socialization goals significantly lower. Immigrant parents changed to value what be emphasized by parents live in the new cultural context, aspects of the host culture and the heritage culture are combined. (criti -

Chinese parenting is competent at times but there are other times where it is more suitable to follow other forms of parenting such as the Western style.These findings have important consequences for the broader domain of parent-child relationships. Whether it is Chinese parenting or Western parenting the relationship between family members is crucial. According to Amy Chua, Chinese parenting is more effective in helping the child attain a better future through the parents’ interests, while Western parenting style reflects mainly the interests of the child.
Parenting is one of the things in life where there is not a rulebook and there are a lot of beliefs on how to raise children. Parents tend to raise their children based on their childhood experiences whether they were good or bad. Some parents raise their children just like they were raised and some raise their children differently because they don’t agree with the way their parents raised them. Parenting styles are based on the ideals and beliefs parents have about raising their children. Research shows that parenting styles directly affect how children behave in and out of school. Students may be presented with

A parent’s parenting styles are as diverse as the world we live in today. Nowadays, parents only want what is best for their children and their parenting styles plays a crucial role in the development of children which will in the long run, not only effect the child’s childhood years, but later prolong into their adult life as well.
Growing up, two group of people, parents, and grandparents, took the time and the energy to raise me. Both of them had different approaches when raising me. These approaches were different parenting styles. According to Baumrind, parenting style was the “[capturing] normal variations in parents’ attempts to control and socialize their children” (Darling, 1999). To put it simply, parenting style goal was to lecture, influence, and discipline a child. In general, there are four parenting styles with their own specific benefits and disadvantages. Furthermore, parenting style, granted the dynamic of the family was understood, can be identified in families.
According to the article “Assimilation and ethnic identity,” the author explains that there are connections between assimilation and ethnic identity. The author emphasizes that we should distinguish the forms of assimilation and how they can affect assimilation outcomes (C.N, 2014, p.2). For example, he explains the concept of behavioral assimilation. The latter happens when newcomer immigrants absorb the cultural norms of the host society, such as the language, the way of clothing, and so on. Also, the author argues that the child-parents relationship play a key role in the child’s assimilation to a certain culture (C.N, 2014,p.3). The author continues and writes that if child-parent relationship is strong and sane, the child is more likely assimilate to his parents’ culture (C.N, 2014, p.4). For instance, if the child is of Mexican parents, he will indentify himself as simply Mexican or American-Mexican. Nevertheless, if the child has problems with his patents, the child will unconsciously indentify differently from his parents, and more likely assimilate to the host country’s culture. Therefore, assimilate can lead to the person’s detachment from his or her culture of origin and embrace the culture of his or her host
Universality in parenting is arguing that even with different ethnic backgrounds and parenting styles, child development outcomes turn out to be similar. Phinney, Ong, and Madden (2000) wanted to find out if there were commonalities in developmental processes among immigrant and non-immigrant groups. They studied those groups to see if living in America caused them to change their collectivist values over to individualistic values. They observed patterns among three immigrant groups: Vietnamese, Armenian, and Mexican. They also had two non-immigrant groups, the Europeans, and the African Americans. They separated the immigrant groups into two cohorts, cohort one being U.S.-born adolescents and parents who have longer residence in the United States, and cohort two being foreign-born adolescents with parents who have not lived in the U.S. that long. Participants were given questionn...

Parents should make their children understand their heritage by teaching them their native language. It is very important for children to establish their identity. Immigrants are more likely to forget their culture and traditions because of assimilation. Immigrants assimilate into new culture with the hopes of becoming socially accepted. Dr. Russell A. Kazal, Associate professor at the University of Toronto Department of History writes in the Journal “The Immigration and Ethnic History Newsletter” that the younger generations seem to be ready to embrace the culture of America in order to gain easy acceptance in society, the elder immigrants are left to worry about preserving their
Nothing is a better experience for a parent than watching their child grow into who they were taught to be. It turns out that 66% of parents intend to and do raise their children with the same life lessons, good or bad, that they were exposed to when they were young (Murray). Raising a family requires values, which evolve into ethics, and are crucial to a successful family. This shows that values are what keep the family in their desired lifestyle. Diversity of values in American families, through morals and tradition, is key to what makes this country so unique.
Ethnic groups, their present and their future, are determined by factors like history, education, religion and politics. These factors build and shape the cultural identity of people and have a major effect in their way of thinking, lifestyle, behaviour, habits, morals, ideology, preferences, traditions, etc.” For this reason “what constitutes normal behavior is not the same to people of different social, economic, political and cultural backgrounds (Bayne, Jinks, Collard, Horton, 2008).
Parenting styles have the capacity of influencing a child’s social, cognitive, and psychological growth, which would then affect the child both in their childhood years, and as an adult.
Even families with similar financial statuses and religious values had a difference of opinion. Through social imagination, it can be asserted that the problems that students face in convincing their parents are more biographical and personal. The biographical aspect of social imagination focuses on the personal lifestyle of an individual and the immediate environment they live in and interact in every day (Mills, 1959). Students who stayed back often belonged to conservative families, while students who moved away were tied to more liberal families and values. We can link this back to the two types of parenting techniques evaluated by Annette Lareau. Most liberal families preferred concerted cultivation over accomplishment of natural growth. Concerted cultivation is a parenting technique that involves parents taking an active role in fostering activities and opportunities for their children (McKenna, 2012). In contrast, accomplishment of natural growth is a parenting technique that involves parents sustaining their child's growth through authority (McKenna,
Child rearing is the way in which children are raised in a society. No matter their culture, parents play a significant role in helping their child become a respectable and contributing member of society. Parents accomplish this by nurturing their child, building problem solving skills, and modeling culturally acceptable ways of living. All cultures vary on what cultural style the correct way to raise a child, but all share similar ground ideals. These ideals include the importance of education and teaching honesty, responsibility, and communication.The major factor of child rearing is parenting. Parental acceptance, rejection, punishment, and expectations will shape how a child is raised In all cultures child rearing is considered to be
