I wasnt involved in child care before going into Elementary School. Before I went directly into kindergarten, I learned to read, write, and count at home with activities online and activities my parents made up. When I went to kindergarten they involved families in the special ocasion parties, field trips, and lunch. When I work in child care, I will involve families in special events and conferences about their child. This gives me a chance to get to know the families more and learn about the families differences. I have many strengths and weaknesses will all types of families. One of my weaknesses are communicating with new families. I get nervous around new people and then warm up to them later. A strength I face with new families is patience

When raising a child in this society we find ourselves asking questions like “to what extent can we allow a child to make his own decision” (lee,2). We have no trust in these kids, whereas in many other societies we know,” it would be presumption for any person to “allow” another to take what is essentially his prerogative” (lee, 4). The Wintu Indians believe the child should decide for himself. “It is in the parent’s mentality to give permission or freedom because it is not within their rights to give” (lee, 7) .An example of this would be .There is no time schedule for their children. When a child is hungry, they will feed them, when a child is sleepy, they will put them to sleep. They are showing the respect for the individual’s personal being. The individual is shown absolute respect from birth and valued as sheer being for his own uniqueness.

During the 16th century in England, upper class families had a strict and disciplinary way of child-rearing due to their perceptions of children. They viewed children as being confused sinners, whom needed to be taught in a harsh and strict environment in order to learn and become wholesome. For example, in Doc 1A, babies are described as “wayward and impulsive...altogether inclined to evil.” This perspective comes from a religious standpoint: a Calvinist minister named Robert Cleaver. This is a predictable point-of-view, because the religious believed that babies were sinners who must be disciplined and educated in order to become good (Doc 1A). However, there was a drastic change in the next couple of centuries. In the 17th century, children

Child-rearing from the 16th to the 18th century changed because the child death rate went up during this time period. This caused parents to distance themselves from their children until they grew into adulthood because they just did not know if they were going to survive. Adults did not want to invest that much time and get to emotionally attached to something that was going to die. These distancing views caused adults attitudes towards children to change, they began to have such views as severely disciplining children, wet nursing, and that kids were taught evil or taught to be bad.

The job of child rearing is widely regarded as a maternal responsibility for most cultures

Over the years, the role of mother in the life of their children has been crucial and prominent. The child’s first education starts at home with their mother. The mother teaches the child how to walk, how to talk, and how to become a strong man or woman in the society. Some mothers will even stop going to work in order to take care of their kids so that they can be a better person and a good citizen.

Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing ethnic minority group in the U.S according to Vanessa Ramirez. Mexican immigrants are an important asset to our country. They work in low skill, low wage jobs but are essential to our countries economy. Therefore it is important to conduct this study to investigate and gain knowledge from their parenting methods and how they are influenced by U.S child discipline cultures. With this research factors that impede Mexican immigrants parents and their children from improving in the United States will be identified. This research will focus on the attitudes and fears they have towards the clash between their child discipline methods and the United States methods. Many of these people come here to improve their lives and by researching a small part of who they are, we will get a glimpse of how Mexican immigrants struggle or adapt with this culture.

Stewart et al. studied postpartum women in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver and found that immigrant women had lower social supports than Canadian-born women and a greater risk for postpartum depression, which they postulated was due to their lack of social support, language challenges, and limited experience with life and healthcare in the Canadian context. (Stewart:123) In another study involving 1,250 women recruited from 5 hospitals in Canada, Sword found that immigrant women had less social support than Canadian-born women, which may relate to the absence of adult female relatives for many of these women. (10:721) The lack of social support for immigrant women can lead to social isolation and adverse health effects. (10:721) This is particularly relevant to consider since it is the norm in may non-Western cultures to obtain assistance from family members for up to 40 days postpartum and to be taken care of by female family members. (10:722, 725) Gagnon at al also found that women were unable to access maternal health care given that they relied on their partners for language translation and transportation and it was challenging to attend appointments with their other children. (Gagnon:563-4) With the absence of extended family, friends and cultural communities for immigrant women in Canada, we can see how the effects of these barriers could be isolating

It is true that the ways the parents raise their children will decide how well the children grow, especially the mothers who impact their children the most. There is no right or wrong in how a mother takes care of her children. All of them want the best for their children. The only difference is the level of intensity in how to raise a child.

Women were seen as natural and appropriate caregivers who experienced strain juggling the demands of work and familial responsibilities (Spitzer et al., 2003 p.282). Overall, both Spitzer et al (2003) and Beagan et al (2008) both found that women see their responsibility for food work, housework, child care, elderly care and etc. George & Ramikissoon (1998) looked at the experiences of South Asian women integrating themselves in Canada (p.103). The South Asian women had come to Canada either for political persecution, for economic reasons and because they wanted to provide a better future for their children (George & Ramkissoon,1998, p.108). Dasgupta (1998) conducted a study to view how much success immigrants have achieved instilling Indian cultural values in their children. This study was also done to explore the similarities in the attitudes toward women and dating amongst Asian Indian immigrants and their children (p.958). DasGupta (1998) argued that if an individual held a liberal attitude toward women’s role in society that it was likely she would have acceptance for dating
