Introduction “Role Reversal”
Parents that immigrate to the United States have their children well-being in mind. When they arrived to this country they face many challenges, one of which is to learn a new language (English). Unfortunately because of many circumstances the majority of these parents don’t get to learn the language and as an alternative they use their children as translators. However, these parents don’t realize that using a child as translators can cause stress in the child’s life and change their behavior toward the parents.
