Article Abstract:
The impact of immigration must be considered to understand parenting issues among immigrants. Immigrating and becoming parents can be described in similar ways as both demand similar transformations. Parenting is universally affected by parental personality, available support, and infant temperament. However, immigrant parenting is also affected by the immigrant's experiences before, during, and after migration, the immigrant's resources and ability to acculturate within the United States, and the expected parental behaviors within the immigrant's culture.
