Generational Trauma and Its Impact on Asian American Parents and Their Families

In this episode of Asian American Parenting, Danny and Monica discuss the difficult and often neglected topic of generational trauma. Passed on from our immigrant parents to our now second and third generation parents, it impacts our present families and parenting of our teenagers and children. They discuss the difficulty and necessity of recognizing it and its consequences. Finally, they discuss finding gospel hope as parents (and adults) in the midst of generational trauma.
