Although I was born in the United States, most of my friends, relatives and neighbors are Mexican or have a Mexican background. But my sister-in-law is Anglo and is bringing up her two children very differently from how I bring up my three.

Even when they are very young she talks to her kids a lot, explaining the reasons they should or shouldn’t do something. Now I try to do this more with my own children. It’s good for them to understand consequences.
