Summary
In the context of increasing ethnic and racial diversity in the United States, we summarize research on parenting among African American, Latinx, White, and Chinese parents in three domains: academic socialization, cultural socialization, and teaching about discrimination. Academic socialization, intended to support children’s and adolescents’ educational success, reflects a goal that is widely shared among adults in the U.S., although there are ethnic-racial differences in how such socialization is manifest due to cultural and contextual variations across groups. Cultural socialization reflects many ethnic-racial minority parents’ desire for their children and adolescents to remain connected to their heritage and to retain the cultural values of their group. Teaching about discrimination reflects many ethnic-racial minority parents’ awareness of their groups’ social position in the U.S. and their anticipation of or reaction to their children’s discrimination experiences. We also describe interventions aimed at supporting the parenting tasks that ethnic-racial minority parents encounter.
