Cultural Considerations: • Some newly arrived families may be more focused on meeting their basic needs and adjusting to the U.S., making it hard to initially focus on their child/children’s learning. • Traumatic events, or trauma-related mental health issues resulting from refugee experiences, may make parental engagement with children challenging (due to depression, fatigue, stress, etc.) • Some refugee parents may not think of home-based activities as learning opportunities. Parents from cultures or environments without preschools may not know that children are learning during this period of life. • Establishing routines may take a while for some families who have lived for years in refugee camps or other low opportunity situations. Families from cultures with a less structured sense of time may struggle to develop daily, time-based routines. • Some cultures may put more emphasis on children listening to and obeying parents without discussion. Remember to Mention: • Positive adult-child relationships and interactions will help build a healthy brain. • Although brain development is a lifelong process, what children experience within their first 5 years is critical for healthy brain development. • The television may be on all the time in some refugee households for a variety of reasons: as a way of hearing English, as a distraction for children, as a novelty, as a symbol of prosperity, or as a means of keeping in touch with the home country or language through foreign news. • Parents who do not know English may have difficulty determining what is appropriate TV content for children. Some refugees and their children may be desensitized to televised violence, or highly sensitive to violence, depending on what they have experienced. F A B C C C D D F G H J J J
