There is so much that ties us to family. We share genes, looks, culture, names and much more with family. So much is tied to our identity that is family influenced. Much of our morals and values come from our family upbringing no matter the structure. Our social class is tied to our family and our family is part of our bioecological system no matter how hard we try to forget them. For this discussion I want you to focus on what your family ties are, is it your name, morals, values? What makes you tied to your family? Below is a scenario to get you thinking in the right direction for your sharing what your family ties are….
- Why my name is important….
Anahi (Ah-na-e) is a Hispanic child who attends a faith-based preschool. She began attending this school when she was 9 months old. When she was born, many people struggled saying her name. Her parents always made the effort to correct people when they mispronounced it because they wanted their daughter to feel proud of her name. It was also important to her parents that she was not given a nickname unless it was a nickname that she has chosen.
As the children in her class begin to speak, they were not able to say her name. They called her Nani (Nah-ni). Anahi’s parents were ok with this because the children were just beginning to develop language. As time went on, Anahi’s mom began noticing that the teachers were also calling her Nani. This upset Anahi’s mom because she felt it was important for Anahi to be able to recognize and pronounce her name correctly. Anahi’s mom is not sure how to address this situation because she believes the teachers are not doing it intentionally, and she doesn’t want to hurt their feelings.
Using this vignette, think about the following as it is part of the child’s identity to the family:
- As a parent, how would you handle this situation?
- As a teacher, if a parent approached you with this concern, what would you say?
To be successful in this discussion…….
Share your thoughts on how you would handle the situation as a parent and a teacher by Wednesday of the week, comment with inquiry to your groupmates by Friday of the week and respond back to your groupmates inquires to your post by Sunday of the week.
