Become
Empowered 
Raising
children of Latino descent in the United States is
very challenging due to language, acculturation,
and social acceptance issues. These issues make it
harder for parents to raise socially and
emotionally healthy children.
Parent
effectiveness programs for these parents have not
always reflected an appreciation of these issues,
and therefore have not been as helpful as they
could otherwise be. In addition, most
parenting programs for Latino parents do not
reflect in their content and methodology an
appreciation of the unique parenting values that
they bring with them. Failure to reflect
such an appreciation makes it harder for the
parents to accept and use the parenting skills and
ideas that the programs
offer.
The
Los Ninos Bien Educados program of the Center for
the Improvement of Child Caring is based on Latino
parenting values and it teaches skills in a
culturally-affirming manner. |

WEBINAR
PRESENTER
Dr.
Kerby T. Alvy, a psychologist, is one of the nation's
most respected and honored authorities and authors on
effective parenting and parenting training, and the
driving force behind the development and dissemination
of the Los Ninos Bien Educados Program. In the
late 1970s, he assembled an extraordinarily group of
Latino American parenting scholers and clincians to
initiate the program, including Drs. Amado Padilla and
Esteban Olmedo of UCLA and Dr. Martha Bernal of the
University of Denver.
Dr.
Alvy wrote the proposal to the Minority Mental Health
Center of the National Institute of Mental Health that
produced the research with Latino American parents upon
which the program is based. He also wrote the
proposal to the Mattel Foundation that supported its
initial field testing with parents whose children were
enrolled in schools in the Los Angeles Unified School
District and the Los Angeles Archdiocese. Along
with Dr. Lupita Montoya Tannatt, he wrote the curriculum
for the program.
He
also designed and supervised the parenting instructor
training workshops that have prepared more than 1500
counselors, educators, social workers and psychologists
to deliver the program in the schools, agencies,
churches, hospitals and civic groups in 25 states and
the District of Columbia where they work.
Dr.
Alvy provided extensive coverage of the history, content
and testing of the program in his book,
Parent Training
Today: A Social Necessity.
