16. South Asian teens need family support in handling cultural differences w/ Sonya Pelia & Jasleen Pelia-Lutzker

South Asian teens are often confronted with cultural dilemmas, differences, and demands when exposed to competing cultural value systems of the East and the West. This is an ongoing challenge that many South Asian teens face and negotiate each day in the arena of personal and social affairs. Most of the time South Asian parents also share that tension as they suffer worrying or not even knowing what their children go through. In this episode, a South Asian mother-daughter team shared their personal experiences on how they had shortened the cultural gap by having respectful, open conversations and how they helped each other in establishing a trusted and healthy relationship between themselves.
