description: Chinese American Children and A Guide for Educators and Service Providers "In my nearly 20 years of experience coordinating services for children and families in California, I have long realized the limited availability of multicultural information and resources. The information is even more scarce or non-existent as it pertains to working with Asian Americans. With the increasing number of Chinese Americans in the United States, it is more and more apparent that a book with insightful and pertinent information intended for educators and other practitioners is needed." Amy Lin Tan, Ph.D. While the information presented in this book is pertinent to Chinese Americans, with relevant applications to East Asian Americans and Southeast Asian Americans, it has a broader application to all cultures. The main focus of the book is to present educators and service professionals with critical relevant, pertinent, and comprehensive information. Trusting that educators and other professionals can easily come up with their own conclusions based on the information shared, Amy Tan leaves the professional decisions to the professionals. For those readers who desire more information the book's extensive reference section offers leads for further reading. Combining bicultural insight and professional experiences while weaving in available literature, this book brings forth a perspective that straddles two worlds to give educators and other professionals the tools needed for providing culturally sensitive services.
