A childs culture greatly affects

how he/she acts and treats
others. For example, in
Hispanic families, respect for
parental authority is often
paired with high parental
warmth a combination that
promotes competence and
strong family loyalty (Berk,
2013, pg. 582). In African
American families, it is
common for children to have
strong bonds with extended
family which protects many
children against poverty and
helps protect the childs
development. (Berk, 2013).
