Raising Nuestros Ninos: Bringing Up Latino Children in a Bicultural World
In an effort to help Latino parents prepare their children for success in the world while preserving their familial and cultural heritage, Rodriguez has written this extensive child-care manual. Drawing on her professional training and her experience with Avance, a nonprofit family support and education program, she weaves practical information on child development together with Spanish songs, rhymes, recipes, and celebrations. While her advice on helping children develop emotionally and intellectually is valid for all cultures, the emphasis is on the special joys and challenges of maintaining la familia in today's world. The book is geared toward Latino parents of children from infancy to age 12 but also serves as an excellent resource for professionals in education and social science or for young people thinking of becoming parents.
