Abstract

This chapter rounds up the results of an online community wide survey done in the UK about parenting perceptions and stereotypes among the UK parents of various ethnicities. The online survey went through Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) (HREC/4832/Bhandari) and related clearances. The key objective of this survey was to hear the community voice of parents from various ethnicities who are happy to share their own parenting experiences and explore their understanding of South Asian parenting. Although the online survey was opened for a brief period of about 2 months in summer, about 65 parents across the UK participated in this survey. The widely held notion that South Asian parents value academic achievement came across clearly in the survey. Some stereotypes like South Asian parents are strict disciplinarians, treat their sons differently from their daughters, are aggressive and vocal in schools and academic settings were not widely held by the UK community of participating parents.
