Unconsciously and consciously, we internalize behaviors, traditions, and understandings that cross-generational boundaries as the foundation for forthcoming youth to establish a living heritage as well as an opportunity to create innovative approaches in everyday dilemmas. As impressionable children our earliest forms of social interactions derive from family, however as an individual one can either accept or reject such socialization when moving forward into adulthood but more commonly, people use their learned conditioning in raising children. On my maternal side of the family, elements such as the importance of education and the idea of hard work was passed down and hopefully can be demonstrated to the next generation as a chance for them

He worked as a construction worker for the developing country and she stayed home with their five children. Depending on a man was never her prime objective but somebody had to remain at home and perform the duty. She described it as “her duty as a woman” to stay at home and be a mother to her five children. However, it was not until the late 1970’s where she had gotten a divorce and decided that Barbados did not offer the economical means for social mobility. With the aid of her siblings, she funded her trip to come to America. She took my uncle and one of my aunts because they were old enough to find a job and contribute to the family. My mother and her other two siblings stayed back in Barbados with their father until my grandmother sent for them. The idea of “sending” for your children in the Caribbean essentially strings from the idea of becoming economically stable in America before bringing your children in order for them to have an easier life and endure fewer hardships.

In addition, I would probably adopt some aspects of a permissive parenting style because it opens grounds for more communication and the forming of their own identity but there will be the wall of ground rules they will have to follow. Education will definitely be a top priority as the tools for them to succeed will definitely be in place, nothing less than excellence is expected. However, spirituality rather than religion will definitely be put into play because it lends its arms to live in the present rather than following a pre-existing moral compass. Plus, the ability to ask questions and to never stop asking questions follows the path of education where the need to know more outweighs finding a conclusive answer. The high context macro system that my grandmother and mother were raised in will definitely have a strong presence in the household where my children will have close ties with their other sibling and eventually cousins and other family members of the sort. Where the future generation will have the independence to succeed in the real world they will still have the interdependent nature to still know their family is always there with a helping
