Preferred term

Native Americans and parenting  

Definition

  • The study of parenting among Native American families is imperative from an applied developmental science point of view in order to understand parenting processes and child development in light of the unique issues faced by these families in the United States and Canada. Pragmatically, as Native American children increase in numbers, research in parenting and child development among these populations is necessary to inform public policy, practice, and effective intervention.
