Four challenges parents in interracial and interethnic marriages reported.
Interracial and interethnic marriages have been increasing in the United States, now accounting for one in six new marriages (Pew Research Center, 2017) and resulting in a greater population of biracial, multiracial, and bi-ethnic children.
Mental health practitioners are more likely than ever to encounter these children and their parents. They should be aware of common issues related to parenting and the ethnic and racial identity these families might face.
