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.
