We examined parenting of adolescents with Consensual Qualitative Research analyses of five 90-minute focus groups with 45 Mexican immigrant parents residing in a high-crime and low-income neighborhood. Parents identified gangs as their major challenge in parenting. Relatedly, they endorsed control-oriented practices to ensure the safety of their adolescents. In addition, parents used practices that aimed to build strong, trusting relationships with their adolescents. The co-occurrence of parenting strategies that promote strong parent-adolescent bonds along with strict monitoring highlights the need to conceptualize parenting with both controlling as well as supportive dimensions. Moreover, the parents' narratives pertaining to the dangers in their neighborhood suggest that interventions for Latino families should be not only consistent with their cultural heritage, but also grounded in the families' local neighborhood contexts.
我们采用共识定性研究方法，对居住在高犯罪率和低收入社区的 45 名墨西哥移民父母进行了五次 90 分钟的焦点小组分析，研究了青少年的养育问题。父母们认为帮派是他们养育子女的主要挑战。相关地，他们赞成控制导向的做法，以确保青少年的安全。此外，父母还采用了旨在与青少年建立牢固、信任关系的做法。促进亲子关系紧密的养育策略与严格监控的同时出现，突出了需要从控制和支持两个维度来理解养育。此外，父母对邻里危险的描述表明，针对拉丁裔家庭的干预措施不仅应符合其文化传统，还应立足于家庭所在的当地社区环境。
