E-Symposium: Parenting in a New Country

E-Symposium Information

Date: July 11, 2017

Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Each family is unique, with a number of different factors influencing parenting styles, including family structure, culture, values, beliefs, language, health, education and location, to name a few. Newcomer families often juggle integration while preserving their own cultures and languages. As a result, parenting styles or expectations may be different and newcomers may have difficulty adapting or blending their parenting style once in Canada.

This E-Symposium will look at parenting from a newcomer perspective, discuss various settlement supports that influence parenting in Canada, and learn the role of the educator and the curriculum taught in the school system.

This E-Symposium will discuss the role that settlement staff and LINC instructors play in the adaptation process.
