Description: From a distinguished psychologist who is also a Latina mother, this book offers the first bicultural child-rearing approach for Latino parents. It supports families in raising their children with time-honored Hispanic values while incorporating the best that North America has to offer. Vazquez's unique parenting method, the New Traditionalism (El Nuevo Tradicionalismo), preserves classic Latino ideals, such as pride, family loyalty, and courtesy, while helping parents revise their traditional authoritarian child-rearing style, blending the best of Latino and American cultures and dramatically reducing cultural conflict in the family. Her seven steps to successful parenting are grounded in the acronym ORGULLO ("pride").
