Document Summary

Cultural differences in parenting: french canadians: anglophones restrict their children"s behaviour and encourage more independence, where francophones were more lenient on their children while encouraging them to be more involved in their community and family life. Immigrant families: being pulled by two cultural ideals of parenting. Children of immigrants are more likely to feel their parents influence regarding tradition. American values independence while eastern cultures value interdependence. One study showed that 1/12 of north american parents would choose their child"s careers, while 1/4 of easter parents would. Asian parents are more likely to be authoritarian and can be criticized through the lens of north american well-being. Sibling relationships: 45% of families have just one child living at home, 38% have two, 16% have three or more. This is like a peer relationship that is ascribed (forced) and the number of siblings, their age, and their sex can affect the socialization and development of the child.
