Analysis Of An Interview On An Immigrant Family

Interview Based on the cultural influences, I chose to do this interview in an immigrant family which child live with her family, but a working aboard father. This interview will consider the information which is provided by Ages & Stages Questionnaires. I completed these worksheets on October 24th, 2016. Based on the ASQ, I asked Tianna’s mom some questions about the cultural influences. Some immigrants want to keep their native culture that they would like to teach their children. As what I know, Tianna’s mom, my friend still keeps the Chinese culture even though she accepts most of the American culture.
