Topics
Stephanie Beatriz:作为在美成长的拉丁裔,她分享了自己童年时期为了融入美国文化而压抑自身文化认同的经历,以及她如何努力在养育女儿的过程中,平衡美国文化与拉丁文化,并积极地向女儿传递拉丁文化传统,例如制作玉米粉蒸肉和饺子等,并通过阅读绘本等方式,让女儿了解和参与其中。她认为,如果自己不主动向女儿传递这些文化元素,女儿将来就很难自己去建立这些联系。 Melissa Fumero:作为古巴移民的后代,她分享了父母为了让她们更好地融入美国社会,而鼓励她们说英语,减少使用西班牙语的经历。这导致她现在虽然能听懂西班牙语,但表达能力有所下降。她回忆了小时候在古巴过圣诞节的热闹场景,并表达了对无法将这种传统完全复制到自己家庭的遗憾。她提到,虽然现在家人分散各地,但她仍然会坚持制作传统的古巴圣诞大餐和饼干,并和孩子们一起装饰圣诞树,以此来延续部分家庭传统。 Melissa Fumero:她还谈到了在新年庆祝活动中,吃十二颗葡萄的传统,以及如何根据孩子的年龄调整这个传统的做法,使其更安全和适合孩子。她认为,在传承文化传统的同时,也需要根据自身家庭情况进行调整和创新。 Stephanie Beatriz:她认为,文化传承不仅包括节日和食物,还包括价值观和行为方式,例如尊重他人、礼貌待人等。她分享了自己在工作中,因为从小受到的良好教养,而被同事称赞的经历。她希望将这些积极的价值观传递给女儿。 Melissa Fumero:她谈到了自己不想将家庭中一些不健康的沟通方式(例如容易爆发冲突)传递给孩子,并分享了自己如何努力改善沟通方式,避免对孩子大喊大叫。她认为,在传承文化的同时,也需要摒弃一些不健康的传统,并努力打破负面循环。
