Intercultural Parenting delves into the intricate interplay between family, culture, and parenting, offering a comprehensive examination of established and evolving Western and Eastern parenting styles and their profound impact on children's development. Authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and neglectful approaches, alongside emerging techniques like helicopter parenting, are compared with filial, tiger, and training methods, as well as mixed parenting styles. Practical application sections provide insights into how cultural understanding can be leveraged to enhance professionals' clinical work, while parental questionnaires foster self-assessment and reflection. In addition, Dr. Foo Koong Hean brings together traditional and evolving approaches to parenting practices, highlighting the significance of research on Eastern parenting practices that have often been overlooked. This book is a vital resource for childcare professionals, including health visitors, early years teachers, mental health specialists, and students studying family studies and developmental psychology. By exploring the diverse parenting styles across cultures, Intercultural Parenting sheds light on the complexities of raising children in a globalized world and provides valuable insights for promoting healthy and flourishing development.
