Beyond the financial burden, immigrant parents face several additional challenges, from cultural anxiety to familial pressure.
Immigrant parents and their children both endure the struggle to learn American social rituals, gender roles, and even things like holiday celebrations and language access.
In addition to pressure to assimilate, immigrant children often struggle to satisfy their parents’ expectations. These expectations frequently include achieving notable academic and career success and maintaining their culture.
Many children of immigrant parents find it difficult to satisfy their parents’ expectations—especially when so many sacrifices have been made on their behalf. This can be a further drain on the mental health of immigrant children.
Join other immigrant parents in the USA on March 17th as we dive deeper into the challenges of raising kids in America.
