“Parenting practices around the world share three major goals: ensuring children’s health and wellness as well as safety, preparing children for life as productive adults, as well as transmitting cultural values.”— American mental association
There is something fundamental as well as universal about the function of parenting, however exactly how moms as well as dads approach their jobs is all over the map.
In a 2015 Pew research study survey, 32% of Black parents said they often/sometimes utilized spanking as a type of self-control with their children — more than double the portion of their white counterparts.
Research has discovered that physical punishment isn’t efficient as well as can cause lasting harm for children. So why do parents — great people who are doing their best to raise great kids — continue this practice?
In order to completely comprehend this as well as other traditional African American/Black parenting as well as self-control practices, it’s important to comprehend the historical, cultural, as well as physiological factors that influenced these parenting styles. In this webinar, kid welfare professional Dr. Angelique Anderson walks us with this.
In this webinar, Dr. Anderson:
Identifies culturally specific, historical frameworks contributing to African American/Black modalities of parenting.
Explores the differences of organic cultural parenting styles versus adaptive cultural parenting styles.
Identifies positive as well as unfavorable effects of the utilize of traditional forms of African American/Black parenting styles.
Identifies contemporary forms of efficient parenting strategies for African American/Black children.
