“…Of particularly importance for this cultural group is the sociopolitical climate and context within which Latino parents engage in family dynamics and raise their children. For example, Latinos in the United States have to navigate challenges related to both structural and institutional inequalities (e.g., access to education and health care, employment opportunities, discrimination, anti-immigrant legislation, and public sentiment) and environmental and cultural stressors (e.g., community violence, availability of resources, acculturation; Leidy et al, 2010; Rodriguez-Jenkins, 2014). In addition, the number of Latino immigrants deported from the U.S. has risen dramatically, and children who experience having a family member deported are more likely to experience fears of family separation and emotional stress (Philbin & Ayón, 2016).…”

Parenting interventions have shown to be effective in improving parenting behaviors quality, reducing child behavior problems, and increasing overall family well-being. However, the majority of research on the effectiveness of parenting interventions has been conducted with a focus on White and Western populations. As a result, intervention designs and guidelines often fail to address the unique characteristics and experiences of Latino immigrant families, which in turn are likely to impact the implementation and effectiveness of parenting interventions. The current article identifies challenges and discusses strategies that we have found to be effective with respect to our experience implementing a parenting intervention with low-income Latino immigrant mothers in the United States. These include (a) language barriers, (b) recruitment of families, (c) retention of families, (d) building trust and community, and (e) integrating culture into parenting interventions.

“…In addition, parents facilitate independence and individuality by taking children's opinions into consideration (Hoffman, 2013). However, much of the research on parenting has been conducted with White middle-class families (Rodriguez-JenKins, 2014) limiting our understanding of discipline choices of other cultural groups.…”

Discipline is one of the most challenging tasks for parents of young children. Parental choices of discipline can vary greatly by race and ethnicity (Coley et al., 2014). Research on Latino families’ choices of discipline has been inconsistent and from a deficit lens (Rodriguez, 2008). The current qualitative study uses a Funds of Knowledge framework to understand how Latina mothers from the Western United States with young children make decisions about disciplining their children. A thematic analysis of 42 interviews revealed that discipline choices were grounded in the mothers’ upbringing, education, and work history. The results of this study can inform parent educators, family therapists, and pediatricians to recognize that Latina mothers are not a homogeneous group and understand the underlying factors that determine their disciplinary strategies to better support their effort to discipline their children.

“…Research with Latino families is most often conducted with families who have typically developing children. In contrast to the English-speaking caregivers in the U.S., research describing caregiver-child interaction in Latino families has found that caregivers tend to value interdependence and respeto, or the obedience of authority and respectful behavior (Calzada et al, 2010;Garza et al, 2009;Guilamo-Ramos et al, 2007;Halgunseth et al, 2006;Kummerer et al, 2007;Rodríguez-Jenkins, 2014). Latino families from low-SES backgrounds have also been described as having a protective parenting style that is high on both warmth and demandingness and low on autonomy granting (Domenech Rodríguez et al, 2009).…”

Evidence-based treatments for young children with developmental language delays include caregiver-implemented naturalistic interventions. However, there is little research on culturally appropriate interventions for Spanish-speaking caregivers from low–socioeconomic status (SES) households and their young children with identified language delays. We compared interaction strategies of Latino Spanish-speaking caregivers from low-SES backgrounds and non-Latino English-speaking caregivers from high-SES backgrounds with their children with language delays. Caregivers’ interactions were coded for (a) interaction characteristics, (b) use of naturalistic language support strategies, and (c) linguistic input. Results indicated Spanish-speaking Latino caregivers from low-SES backgrounds used a more directive, responsive, and warm interaction style than non-Latino caregivers. Non-Latino, English-speaking caregivers from high-SES backgrounds used more cognitively stimulating strategies, spent more time observing and narrating play, and used longer utterances and more lexical diversity. Findings provide directions for future research and guidance for clinicians working with Latino families from low-SES households.
