Problem about family structures and parenting styles


Problem:

How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? These differences are reflected in family structures and parenting styles. The spirit of collectivism in Latino American culture is evident in child-rearing practices that encourage children to develop an identity embedded firmly in the context of their familia (Buriel, 2012). For many Latino Americans, the word familia includes not only the nuclear family but also the extended family-including grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews-and even goes beyond blood relatives to include fictive kin such as godparents. Because of the value of familism and respect based on age and gender, in Latino culture grandmothers are often the symbolic heads of extended families and are sought after for advice and support in child rearing (Ramos-McKay et al., 1988). It is important for Latino Americans that children internalize the values of respeto, which teaches respect for parents and other adults (Calzada et al., 2010, 2012) and familismo, which stresses the importance of family ties and obligations (Tse et al., 2015). Befitting this goal, Latino American parents are more authoritarian and less authoritative than European American parents (Schumm et al., 1988; Steinberg et al., 1991) but as parents acculturate (adopt the values and customs of a new country) they use more authoritative approaches (Parke et al., 2004).
