One of the main reasons that immigrant families migrate to a new country is to help their children have a better life. Parents aspire to offer their children a good education, better economic opportunities, a happy lifestyle, and a politically safe environment full of possibilities. Parents come to the new country filled with hope and big expectations. 

But sometimes they encounter barriers and roadblocks. Upon the time their children are reaching teenage and young adult years, conflicts often enter daily family life. Gaps open with differences in values, opinions, ethics and/or lifestyle priorities. Teenage years are a turbulent time and a challenging period for all parents, and often much more so for immigrant families. 

Immigrant parents face unique challenges: The challenges are those arising from the process of acculturation in the host country. As parents you have your own sets of values that you want to impart onto your children. They could be religious, moral, or cultural values or the values of your family of origin, all of which define you. But you see that your children are getting influenced by the norms of the new culture, by their peers, by the values around them, and you may struggle to understand them. Differences grow, values and expectations clash, bitter fights follow. You start feeling confused as your parenting skills, which were developed around your own culture, no longer seem to be effective with your own children. The values that you deeply respected are now questioned by your children. 

You wonder how to bridge the gaps, resolve the conflicts, and how to keep your teenagers safe from negative influences, so they can lead happy and successful lives.
