Childhood, Parenting, and Reflection:
How Parenting Affects Your Life Journey
We interviewed six people from two different backgrounds: Chinese and white American.
All interviewees are in their 20s and are either currently attending university or recently graduated. The interviews were all conducted using Zoom. Our interviews focused on understanding our interviewees’ family lives and how their parents have influenced their life decisions up until this point. We asked questions about aspects of their lives from childhood to adulthood in order to gain insight into their relationships with family members and how these relationships have shaped them into the people that they are today.
