Research Output: Book/Report Book Peer-review

Open access

Abstract

Insights into parenting ‘mixed’ children More and more is known about the ‘mixed’ population of Britain – those brought up in families with different racial, ethnic and faith backgrounds. But less is known about their parents. Who are they and what are their experiences of bringing up their children? This report aims to provide insights about parenting mixed children to inform debates about family life and professional strategies for support. Focusing on mothers and fathers living together, it: • Investigates how parents from different racial, ethnic and/or faith backgrounds give their children a sense of belonging and identity. • Examines parents’ approaches to cultural difference and how they pass on aspects of belonging and heritage across generations. • Explores the opportunities, constraints, challenges and tensions in negotiating a sense of identity and heritage between parents.
