“…However, Petts et al (2018) found no differences in monitoring or positive control among fathers of different ethnic minority backgrounds. Likewise, McWayne et al (2018) found that both US-born Black and Black Caribbean immigrant parents used positive parenting practices at high rates.…”

Objective: Examine whether the relationship between ethnicity and parental discipline practices is consistent across contexts. Background: Harsh discipline has been linked to negative child behaviors and adolescent outcomes. In examining harsh discipline, scholars have observed ethnic differences. Methods: We use the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K) for the United States and the Millennium CohortStudy (MCS) for the United Kingdom. The samples include parents of children aged 7-11 years old 008, MCS N = 11,113). Using logistic regression, we model the associations between parental ethnicity and five disciplinary strategies (spanking, yelling, sending to timeout, discussing, and withdrawing privileges). Results: Black parents in the United States were more likely to use harsh physical discipline, whereas all ethnic minorities in the United

“…Importantly, recent within-group studies of low-income Black caregivers demonstrate that cultural and ethnic differences may differentially shape the ways U.S.-born and Caribbean-born caregivers raise young children (see McWayne et al, 2018). For instance, while many African American parents emphasize teaching Black heritage and helping children develop a sense of pride about being Black in the United States (Lesane-Brown et al, 2010), many Black Caribbean immigrant caregivers resonate more with ethnicity (i.e., nationality) than race and, accordingly, educate their children on preserving their ethnic identity and heritage associated with their countries of origin (Zhou, 1997).…”

This study examined the relations between family demographics and positive parenting dimensions among urban-residing, low-income, Black caregiving dyads. Participants were 100 co-caregivers affiliated with a Head Start program and reporting on 50 preschool-aged children. Given that the parenting context for the caregiver pairs was not independent, multilevel dyadic analysis was employed to determine demographic predictors of positive parenting dimensions as measured by the emically derived Black Parenting Strengths in Context scale. Findings illuminated associations between combinations of adult/child characteristics (e.g., nativity, parental employment status, child gender) and the five dimensions of positive parenting measured (i.e., Fostering Connectedness; Racial and Cultural Pride; Involvement at School; Religious and Spiritual Practices; Behavioral Responsiveness and Guidance). Findings suggest implications for future research and theory involving Black family life—specifically the need to examine parenting by considering the combined effects of individual and shared family characteristics—and for designing parent support efforts that recognize family roles and heritages, and that leverage the strengths of and heterogeneity among the multiple caregivers in the lives of young children.

“…These dimensions included fostering a connected and competent self, religious/spiritual practices and values, Black cultural pride, involvement at school, and behavioral guidance and responsiveness. These positive parenting practices and beliefs were associated with improved socioemotional outcomes for preschool children (McWayne, Mattis, & Hyun, 2018). In other samples of Black preschool children enrolled in Head Start, positive parenting practices were associated with lower aggressive and hyperactive behaviors (Carpenter & Mendez, 2013).…”
