Chapter 9: Family and Children in Mexican American Families
Learning Objectives
Explore the traditional meal composition and cycles and compare these to the meal composition and cycles of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and Central Americans living in America today.
Identify health concerns and counseling strategies associated with the nutritional intake of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and Central Americans.
1) After studying the chapter content, answer the following questions. The text emphasizes the importance of family and children in Mexican American families.
What happens if someone in the family is being encouraged to eat in a special way and this creates disharmony in the family structure?
What is the communication style of Latinos and Central Americans?
What are ways to phrase nutrition advice that take advantage of the traditional values, but also respects cultural attitudes? Create an example scenario of how this could look.
What should be emphasized when giving food and behavioral advice?
2) In addition to using your textbook, find at least one outside resource to support your work. Follow APA style for this assignment including double-spaced writing, in-text citations for information taken from resources, and a reference list at the end. Answering the questions completely and demonstrating critical thinking is more important than the length of the paper, so I have not specified a required number of pages for this assignment.
