Here’re some parenting tips given by Dr. George Hsu:

• Asian parents need to keep an open mind and make an attempt to adapt to the American culture.
• Parents and Children should communicate like friends. Parents shouldn’t exert lots of “power” over their kids.
• Find some fun things to do with your kids, such as sports, singing or dancing.
• It’s important for parents to understand their children, so spend some time finding out about your children’s interests.
• Sometimes parents have to put themselves in their children’s shoes to understand how they think.

Are you a parent that’s immigrated to the U.S. from Asia and you’re raising a child? Perhaps you’re struggling to have conversations with your children, or their behavior is causing problems in your family. You’re not alone.
