Item Academic Socialization in the Homes of Black and Latino Preschool Children: Research Findings and Future Directions(Springer International Publishing, 2018) Baker, Linda; DeWyngaert, Laura; Sonnenschein, Susan; Sawyer, Brook E.This chapter provides an overview of what is known about how Black and Latino families prepare their young children for school and what remains to be understood. It provides a synthesis of research presented in this volume, with particular attention to the theoretical and methodological dimensions of the research and the family strengths emphasized across chapters. Directions for future research compatible with a strengths perspective are discussed. These include additional descriptive research with families of color from an inter sectional perspective, intervention research based on family strengths and cultural values, and development of culturally-appropriate measurement tools. Implications for practice are also discussed, with a focus on connections between families and schools.Item Concerted Cultivation Among Low-Income Black and Latino Families(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2018-12-11) Sonnenschein, Susan; Metzger, Shari R.; Gay, BrittanyThis chapter examines low-income Black and Latino parents’ beliefs and practices about providing an educationally rich environment for their children. More specifically, it focuses on what parents believe about how their preschool children learn, their role in such learning, and the reading and math activities they make available to their children. Using a mixed-methods approach, we found that both Black and Latino parents expressed beliefs consistent with Lareau’s (2003) notion of concerted cultivation by engaging in educational activities with their children and purposefully providing educational materials for them. In addition, there were no significant differences between Black and Latino parents in the approaches they chose to foster their children’s reading and math skills. Future research can utilize the findings from this study to help promote the academic success of low-income children by building upon the beliefs of Black and Latino parents and the activities that they endorse.
