We have always known that family is a big component in our culture. As I research best practices for parent curriculums I am realizing that more literature is recognizing familismo. We are starting to be heard in research through a different perspective. At the same time I appreciate the strengths perspective theory that highlights individuals strengths. It upholds a persons dignity and uses their positive attributes to help them move forward instead of focusing on the “less desired” attributes. I think this is important when we empower parents.
