Abstract Ethnotheories of immigrant parents residing in the Netherlands are reshaped in response to the multiple and diverse educational practices they come in contact with after migration. Network analyses of “parenting relationships” of first generation Dutch‐Moroccan parents living in the Netherlands show that they borrow from diverse resources including professionals and nonprofessionals in their construction of new ethnotheories. Through media as well as through interacting with family in their country of origin, with same‐generation peers in the Netherlands, and with Dutch professionals and neighbors, these mothers develop “modern” notions of parenting such as stimulating child independence, while also using building blocks from traditional practices such as respect for the elderly. Individual variability is evident in parents’ processes of adaptation, with some parents seeming stuck between these alternative and seemingly contradictory practices and ideas while others learn to use them to position themselves optimally in their multi‐ethnic environment. The paper argues that recognizing these parents as creative producers of their own solutions, and becoming conscious of their self‐made support networks and the resources they provide, can offer professionals and policy makers a new paradigm for the design of social services and support for immigrant parents.

重塑荷兰荷兰摩洛哥移民父母的父母民族理论：多个世界中的网络

摘要居住在荷兰的移民父母的民族理论因其在移民后所接触的多种多样的教育实践而发生了变化。对居住在荷兰的第一代荷兰－摩洛哥父母的“父母关系”进行的网络分析表明，他们在构建新的民族理论时从包括专业人士和非专业人士在内的多种资源中借用。这些母亲通过媒体以及与原籍国的家庭，荷兰同龄同龄人以及与荷兰专业人士和邻居的互动，形成了“现代”的育儿观念，例如激发孩子的独立性，同时也使用建筑妨碍了尊重老人等传统习俗。个体的可变性在父母的适应过程中很明显，有些父母似乎陷入了这些另类的，看似矛盾的实践和观念之间，而另一些父母则学会了使用它们来在自己的多种族环境中进行最佳定位。该论文认为，认识到这些父母是他们自己的解决方案的创造性生产者，并意识到他们自己的支持网络和他们提供的资源，可以为专业人员和决策者提供设计社会服务和移民支持的新范式。父母。
