The focus of this chapter is the integration of research findings on parental roles in the formation of heritage (e.g., ancestral, racial, ethnic, faith/religious) cultural identity within contexts in which one may experience marginalization and subjugation. This chapter elucidates positive parenting influences on youth heritage identity formation and their concomitant outcomes for youth. It also highlights specific factors that put youth at risk. The chapter concludes with parenting strategies that function to support the positive formation of heritage identity and strategies for navigating marginalizing and discriminatory experiences (MIDEs), which in turn, supports the academic, well-being, and global health of youth.
