Guided by the theoretical frameworks of family development and family systems theories from the life course perspective, the present study explored how Korean American mothers make sense of their child launching experiences in immigration context, and describe the family dynamics around parenting and parent-child relationship during the life transition. Focusing on the developmental task of child launching, thus, this study examined the topic that has received scarce attention in scholarly literature – culturally specific experiences of parenting and parent-child relationship from the perspective of Korean immigrant mothers in midlife. To delve into the lived experiences of Korean immigrant mothers, this study employed a phenomenological approach throughout the entire research process of collecting and analyzing the data. Through the analysis of semi-structured interviews with middle-aged Korean immigrant mothers (N=10), nine sub-themes emerged under the three broader main themes of reflections on past parenting experiences, extended parenthood during child launching transition, and evolving parent-emerging adult child relationship. The nine subthemes were 1) a hybrid of Korean and American parenting approach; (2) parenting challenges in the immigration context; (3) personal growth through parenting; (4) coping with feelings of loss after child’s home-leaving; (5) parental support due to child’s financial instability; (6) parental involvement despite child’s growing autonomy; (7) maintaining family ties through close living arrangements and frequent contact; (8) managing intergenerational conflicts through communication; and (9) establishing adult-to-adult relationships through an adjusted parenting approach. The study findings suggested a complex and dynamic approach to understanding the interconnectedness among acculturation, parenting approach, and parent-young adult child relationship over time. In specific, this study highlighted the multifaceted impact of the immigrant context on acculturation and parenting experiences throughout childrearing and child launching periods. Through personal growth and the acculturation process during their parenting and child launching transitions, Korean immigrant mothers have gradually adjusted their parenting into a distinctively ‘Korean American’ parenting approach. Despite the extended parental support for their young adult children, in reaction to their children’s growing independence and maturity, the mothers have further adjusted their parenting approach. The mothers’ efforts to maintain family ties through frequent and close interactions with their young adult children, in turn, contributed to better relationship management and further acculturation among the participants. Those study findings have implications for future research on immigrant families and culturally attentive practice for immigrant parents in midlife.

More than 1.3 million Korean Americans live in the United States, the majority of them foreign-born immigrants and their children, the so-called 1.5 and second generations. While many sons and daughters of Korean immigrants outwardly conform to the stereotyped image of the upwardly mobile, highly educated super-achiever, the realities and challenges that the children of Korean immigrants face in their adult lives as their immigrant parents grow older and confront health issues that are far more complex. In Caring Across Generations, Grace J. Yoo and Barbara W. Kim explore how earlier experiences helping immigrant parents navigate American society have prepared Korean American children for negotiating and redefining the traditional gender norms, close familial relationships, and cultural practices that their parents expect them to adhere to as they reach adulthood. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 137 second and 1.5 generation Korean Americans, Yoo & Kim explore issues such as their childhood experiences, their interpreted cultural traditions and values in regards to care and respect for the elderly, their attitudes and values regarding care for aging parents, their observations of parents facing retirement and life changes, and their experiences with providing care when parents face illness or the prospects of dying. A unique study at the intersection of immigration and aging, Caring Across Generations provides a new look at the linked lives of immigrants and their families, and the struggles and triumphs that they face over many generations.

Early childhood professionals can use this one-of-a-kind work to better serve Korean American children in the United States. Four transnational mother-educators share the lived experiences of Korean American children and their families through candid and vivid narratives that counter stereotypical and prejudicial beliefs about Asian American communities. Topics include parenting beliefs and practices, naming practices, portrayals in children’s picturebooks, translingual home practices, and responses to microaggressions. The text raises awareness about various dynamics within the Korean American community for a more nuanced discourse. The authors bring a wealth of hybrid positioning and experiences as former early childhood educators, first-generation Korean American immigrants, current teacher educators working with pre- and inservice teachers, and researchers in different states, as well as mothers of second-generation Korean American children. Book Features: Shares original stories and experiences of Korean American children and families to dismantle prevalent narrow narratives.Offers practical implications and considerations for classroom teachers regarding family engagement, critical literacy, translanguaging, and social–emotional learning. Includes user-friendly features such as discussion questions, lesson ideas, and a list of appropriate picturebooks.

An engaging ethnography of Korean American immigrant families navigating the United States Both scholarship and popular culture on Asian American immigrant families have long focused on intergenerational cultural conflict and stereotypes about “tiger mothers” and “model minority” students. This book turns the tables on the conventional imagination of the Asian American immigrant family, arguing that, in fact, families are often on the same page about the challenges and difficulties navigating the U.S.’s racialized landscape. The book draws on a survey with over 200 Korean American teens and over one hundred parents to provide context, then focusing on the stories of five families with young adults in order to go in-depth, and shed light on today’s dynamics in these families. The book argues that Korean American immigrant parents and their children today are thinking in shifting ways about how each member of the family can best succeed in the U.S. Rather than being marked by a generational division of Korean vs. American, these families struggle to cope with an American society in which each of their lives are shaped by racism, discrimination, and gender. Thus, the foremost goal in the minds of most parents is to prepare their children to succeed by instilling protective character traits. The authors show that Asian American—and particularly Korean American—family life is constantly shifting as children and parents strive to accommodate each other, even as they forge their own paths toward healthy and satisfying American lives. This book contributes a rare ethnography of family life, following them through the transition from teenagers into young adults, to a field that has largely considered the immigrant and second generation in isolation from one another. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods and focusing on both generations, this book makes the case for delving more deeply into the ideas of immigrant parents and their teens about raising children and growing up in America – ideas that defy easy classification as “Korean” or “American.”

It is not known how Korean immigrant mothers perceive parent involvement and the use of technology as they unpack complexities and uncertainties in immigrant parenting in this digital age. The purpose of this qualitative, narrative study is to examine how Korean immigrant mothers perceive parent involvement and the use of technology as they unpack complexities and uncertainties in immigrant parenting in digital age. This study seeks to better understand the impact of technology in parent engagement and home-school communications through the Korean immigrant mothers’ experiences, voices, and perspectives. Through in-depth interview and narrative analysis, this study explores the perspectives of eight Korean immigrant mothers and their lived experiences on how they engage in their child’s education. This study focuses on the voices and stories of the Korean immigrant mothers living in this global age and how they support their children’s education in a multicultural and interconnected space and time with the rapidly increasing use of technology. Drawing on theoretical framework of Herman’s dialogical self theory, a dialogical approach is used to give particular attention to the voices of the Korean American immigrant mothers in attempt to capture multiple perspectives and various experiences of technology-mediated parent engagements. Through unpacking technology-mediated engagements in Korean American immigrant mothers’ narratives, there were notable shifts or change of modes in the immigrant parent involvement impacted by the growing use of technology at schools and homes. The findings suggest that Korean American mothers have their strategy or ways of parent engagements that carried over from traditional to technology-mediated parent engagements to help navigate through shifts and changes. Additionally, with the rapidly growing use of technology, Korean mothers experienced uncertainties and complexities in immigrant parenting.

Between 1990 and 2000, the U.S experienced a 54% increase in Korean immigrants. Consequently, there is a growing number of Korean families, with American born children. Due to the dual-culture of the adolescent children, their experience is likely to differ from children born with one culture. Furthermore, this difference of common values in culture, provokes unnecessary conflicts within the family system, which can further entail disconnect and isolation. This project attempts to bridge the disconnect of culture, and its values regarding South Korean, American, and Korean-American cultures, parenting differences between the cultures, intergenerational conflicts, relational and communication issues.

U.S. society perceived some Asian immigrants as a model minority, even assuming that Asian students would be good at mathematics. However, the narratives and experiences of Korean immigrant parents and their children were not discussed in these perspectives. The purpose of this study is to understand the interactions and reasoning of Korean immigrant parents about their children's mathematical meaning-making at home. The study investigates the following research questions: How do Korean immigrant parents of elementary-aged students support their children's mathematical meaning-making at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? Why do Korean immigrant parents of elementary-aged students support their children's mathematical meaning-making at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? Using the theory of belonging, model minority stereotypes, and meaning-making, this study critically examines Korean immigrant parents and children how and why negotiate the meaning of U.S. mathematics. Narrative inquiry is used to understand the diverse experiences of the five participants' families through interviews, observations, and debrief sessions. The findings report how and why Korean immigrant parents support their children's mathematical meaning-making using code-switching and cultural negotiation that addresses conceptual differences across language and culture. On a personal level, Korean immigrant parents' desire to belong in U.S. society guides them to put effort into their children's education. On a societal level, the parents in this study wish for their children to overcome perpetual foreigner stereotypes, myths, and glass ceilings around them. Yet because of their limited connectedness to mainstream society, they feel they lack the information needed for their children to be successful. Their voices demystify the model minority stereotypes and counter the argument that mathematics education serves as an absolutely inclusive subject. Recommendations from this point on the school districts and educational system are to have explanatory sessions for immigrant parents to help their understanding of the U.S. curriculum, and at the same time, teachers also can take advantage by having listening sessions about multiple ethnic parents to learn the cultural meaning-making to make a connection between school children and their culture in the curriculum. Furthermore, the higher education system could recruit more diverse pre-service teachers to create more belonging for diverse learners. Last but not least, school teachers can learn and practice immigrant experiences and try to demystify racial stereotypes in classrooms.
