Book Description
Living within dual cultures doesn't mean you have to choose one or the other for your children. You can get the best out of both, and Parenting with Pride -- Latino Style shows you how to do just that.
Dr. Carmen Inoa Vazquez draws on her personal and professional experiences to present a unique parenting method called El Nuevo Tradicionalismo (The New Traditionalism), created especially for Latino families living in North America. With Dr. Vazquez's guidance, you'll learn how to instill a sense of cultural pride in your children and at the same time allow them to embrace the society they live in.
Insightful solutions, techniques, and detailed examples show you how to integrate these methods into your family's daily life, including managing the role of elders, the use of the Spanish language, children's friendships, and school issues. It's time to parent with pride -- Latino style!
Definitely recommended for anyone involved with families of Latino heritage.
Reviews & Testimonials
From Publishers Weekly-
“…Vazquez applies these ideas [orgullo] with exceptional sensitivity to old-school Latin American values, showing parents how to ease away from an emphasis on total obedience, for example, without losing their position as their child’s primary guide and role model. Particularly helpful is her advice on teaching young children to be bilingual (she’s a strong advocate of the one person-one language method). Latinos are now the largest minority group in the United States; for them and for the doctors and teachers who tend to their children, Vasquez’s book is an outstanding addition to the parenting reference shelf.”
From Elaine Ayala, San Antonio Express-News (Texas)-
“Easy to read and contains copious references and recommended resources.”
From Barri Bronston, Times-Picayune (New Orleans)-
"Dr. Vazquez, a psychologist and first-generation Latina, shows Latino parents how to raise well-adjusted, culturally flexible children."
