Hi there,

Great start to your topic! Given that Canada is a multicultural country, I am not surprised by the high percentage of children who have at least one immigrant parent. However, I am curious to how assimilation may play a role in these children’s development. For many children born and raised or immigrated to Canada at a young age, I imagine that it would be difficult to preserve their original cultural values while embracing and accepting values and beliefs that are common in Western society, especially if certain values contradict each other. How do children navigate through these dilemmas and what factors determine the extent to which they preserve or move away from their heritage culture?

One suggestion would be to be more specific in your argument - what particular factors make it challenging for children of immigrants? Some examples would be different parenting styles (across cultures), language barrier, being part of a minority group, etc. Also, please include references! :)
