Belonging matters in early childhood. Despite its importance, the majoritarian conceptualization of belonging is seldom problematized. In the US, the politics of belonging draws racialized lines of inclusion and exclusion, (re)inscribing longstanding racialized systems of inequity and injustice. Through critical race and Latina feminist perspectives and methodologies, an immigrant mother and son of Color examined their lived experiences. Findings unveil the urgency of upending formal racialized notions of belonging—for example, citizenship, co-naturalized with whiteness. Attending to the palpable consequences of ideological and relational borders that exclude and subjugate immigrants of Color, implications call for abolishing belonging as property and cultivating collective healing.

In this article, we examine through quantitative and qualitative analyses Mexican immigrant mothers’ conversations about dating and sex with their teenage daughters who were not sexually active at the time of the study. The results of our mixed-methods study indicate that mothers give their daughters consejos (advice) restricting sex initiation embedded within messages that stress the importance of education as a means to achieve self-sufficiency and freedom. These messages of sexual restriction for the purpose of educational achievement and liberation are important for building a bridge of collaboration with teachers and schools to ensure the educational success of Mexican American female students. Our study examines whether the mothers’ consejos on sexual delay to achieve educational success results in their daughters’ postponement of sexual engagement for another year. We conclude by outlining the implications of our findings for teacher training.

臺灣近年生育率持續降低,但新住民家庭子女學生數卻逆向成長,目前約每十位孩童就有一位來自新住民家庭。新住民家庭經常面對較多的社會困境,原因包括原生家庭經濟不佳、教育程度不高,加上在新環境中語言、文化背景的差異,在所有不利因素交互影響下,新住民家庭的社經條件即普遍較非新住民家庭低,使雙親需要以較長時間的勞動來支撐家庭開支。有不少研究結果顯示新住民家庭的孩童,於多方面的發展上較為不利。親子共讀乃為國內外許多研究支持可促進幼兒發展的因子之一,像是可以提升幼兒的認知發展、語言發展、閱讀、繪畫表現、以及與同儕的人際互動能力。然而,在國內仍僅有少數研究針對新住民家庭中的幼兒,探討親子共讀對幼兒發展的影響,本研究欲針對此加以探討。本研究使用幼兒發展調查資料庫中的大型資料,研究對象為36月齡組幼兒。研究者從2,164案的資料庫中,母親國籍為非本國籍、父親國籍為本國籍之145位孩童作為本研究之新住民樣本。相應的對照組則為1,959位父、母皆為本國籍之孩童。結果顯示新住民家庭相較於非新住民家庭,父親的年齡較高且母親的年齡顯著較低,且父母親的教育程度與家庭總收入皆低於非新住民家庭。在發展指標上面,相較於非新住民家庭中的幼兒,新住民家庭中的幼兒在認知、語言、社會與情緒四項指標上發展皆較為落後。在控制父母的年齡、教育程度、親職參與程度、以及家庭總收入後,發現在低親子共讀經驗情況下,新住民幼兒的認知、語言、社會與情緒發展皆顯著低於非新住民幼兒的認知發展;但相反的,在高親子共讀經驗情況下,新住民家庭幼兒的各層面的發展則與非新住民家庭中的幼兒無異,甚至在認知、情緒發展上有略高於非新住民家庭幼兒的傾向。在同樣是低程度的親子共讀經驗下,新住民的孩子會比非新住民的孩子的表現更差;然而,當新住民家庭努力提高其親子共讀經驗時,即便在與非新住民母親是相同的投入程度,就可以具體的緩衝掉因為社經地位差異所造成的藩籬,甚至翻轉這個劣勢,呈現出更佳的幼兒發展效果。此為國內第一篇具體指出親子共讀具有翻轉結構力量的可能性研究,對未來持續探討新住民家庭動力以及親子共讀的重要性與歷程等都有重要的意義。
