Migration entails complex transformations in family functioning and dynamics, especially when traditional parenting beliefs and practices are not consistent with mainstream norms in the host country. Whereas some culturally embedded parenting beliefs might persist even after migration, others may acculturate or shift to align with child-rearing norms in the host community. Using a qualitative research design with elements of indigenous Filipino psychology (Sikolohiyang Pilipino), this study explored parenting experiences and beliefs of Filipino immigrant parents in the USA, with a specific lens towards examining continuity and change in traditional parenting practices. Results suggest that participants strongly maintain many aspects of traditional Filipino parenting, including teaching Filipino culture and values, employing Filipino parenting practices, observing Filipino traditions, establishing the child’s identity and maintaining a Filipino household. Findings were situated in the context of the research site, the complexities of the acculturation process and the potential challenges of negotiating cultural differences in parenting beliefs and practices.

美国的菲律宾育儿

移徙需要复杂的家庭功能和动态变化，尤其是当传统的养育观念和做法与东道国的主流规范不一致时。尽管某些文化底蕴的养育信念甚至在移民后仍会存在，但其他人可能会适应或转移以适应所在社区的育儿规范。本研究使用定性研究设计和本土菲律宾心理学（Sikolohiyang Pilipino）的元素，探索了美国菲律宾移民父母的父母养育经验和信仰，并专门研究了传统父母养育方式的连续性和变化。结果表明，参与者强烈维护了传统的菲律宾人育儿的许多方面，包括传授菲律宾文化和价值观，运用菲律宾人的养育方式，遵守菲律宾人的传统，建立孩子的身份并维持菲律宾人的家庭。研究结果取决于研究地点，适应过程的复杂性以及在养育子女的信仰和实践中进行文化差异谈判的潜在挑战。
