Padres Activos de Hoy is the Spanish-language version of
the award-winning parenting education program Active
Parenting Today. It is not dubbed or
subtitled---it features all-new video with Latino actors.
To make the translation as universal as possible, a
Spanish-speaking advisory board and Spanish-speaking
parents assisted in the making of this video. It
addresses concerns unique to this audience, including:
- how
parenting practices must fit the society for
which we are raising our children (a special
challenge for first-generation immigrant parents)
- the
presence of the extended family in the home
- encouraging
daughters as well as sons to succeed
- the
importance of learning the language of the land
Format
