New Latinx Immigrant Parents: A Case Study

Decent Essays
New latinx immigrant parents cope with new enviromnts in many ways and it will shape parenting practices. I like to speak about latinx parents moving into enviroments of enclaves and new destinations. Firstly location matter, because it is the judge of how a parent interacts within this environment that has many semi environments in terms of work, school, or healthcare, just to name a few. In cultural enclaves the parents ay be able to find support for their children from people who look like them. Howvevr, like I mentioned before these places tended to be of low social ecomnimic status, lack of resoucres (jobs), and safety. So the parenting practices may be alittle harsh an overearin in terms of not letting their children out,losing control

The immigration policies affect many legal and illegal immigrant families and their U.S. born children.
