The name of my family's country origin is we all from the United States but we was born in
different states. My mother side of the family was born and raised in Durham N.C. and my father
was born in San Francisco California. My grandfather on my dad side was in the military and died when my dad was very young. They often travel in the military and they reside in California. My dad also had family from Durham, North Carolina and that is how our parents met. Me and my brothers are born and raised in Durham, North Carolina at Duke hospital. The five ways that I will prepare myself to be culturally responsive towards my family is to continue and being active member of my church, studying my religion and praying together as a family, family tradition during when celebrating holidays and family trips, continuing my family reunions, and horning our roots and ancestors in our family. These preparations will benefit me and my families of respecting my family morals, values,
and family traditions. I love my family and we are the "family that prays we stay together".This will help my daughter to be connected with her family and the traditions that will carry on from generations to generations. This will help her to learn about her roots and ancestors of both side of the families. This is how it will benefit me and my families.
Shartarka,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about your own family experience and how that has given you understanding in culture responsiveness. Knowing and incorporating a family's culture into the culture of our society helps all of us in our understanding and growth!

It's important that families remain connected, teach their children family values, morals and the importance of praying together as a family especially in this society that tends to make the youth forgetting who they are and where they are from. It's a great thing you're teaching your child. Thanks for sharing!
