Spanish Language Resource Offers Advice on Parenting

By News Staff

Cultural and language differences are just two of the problems some Hispanic parents may face in the United States. To help, NIH has released a free Spanish-language guide for Hispanic parents looking for advice on parenting.

Coding & Billing
It's a resource you could consider offering Spanish-speaking patients in your practice who are new or who soon will be new parents or grandparents.

Qué Significa ser Padres? -- or What Does It Mean To Be Parents? -- is a 70-page Spanish-language version of Adventures in Parenting, a booklet put out by NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The guide offers evidence-based parenting guidelines and uses a model that encourages responding to children in an appropriate manner, preventing risky behaviors, monitoring children's contact with the surrounding world, mentoring, and modeling positive and consistent behaviors. The guide includes information geared to specific age groups and offers real-life examples of how parents can use the information in the guide when interacting with their children.

Free copies of Qué Significa ser Padres? may be ordered online or by calling (800) 370-2943. The entire guide also may be downloaded. (PDF file: 70 pages / 4.4 MB. More about PDFs.)
