To what extent do Hao’s (and his parents’) cultural traditions contribute to his problem behaviors?
What will be an ideal response?
Interestingly, Hao’s being in America may have delayed the recognition of his developmental problems. According to his mother, in Vietnam Hao’s behavior would be considered unacceptable and outside the norm. Her own observations of the patience of American teachers led her to be less concerned about Hao’s behavior. In Vietnam children are warned against bad behavior by being threatened with physical punishment. While it is not clear what interventions Hao would have received in Viet Nam, his abnormal behavior would have been less tolerated.
