Answer to Question 1

Children's names are integral to their identity in any culture, so it is important to learn to pronounce names correctly. Or if the child is deaf, to learn to sign the child's name correctly. Teachers should ask the parents how to pronounce the name and use it correctly. For example, in
the Vietnamese culture, the surname is first, followed by the middle name, and the given name is last. If a specific name is challenging, teachers should tape-record the parent saying the name and play it for themselves and staff until they can reproduce the name properly. We should never
Anglicize the names to make them easier to pronounce, nor should we ever give the children nicknames. The children's and their families' names may have been the only authentic cultural possession they had left when they arrived in this country; thus the child's given name should be
valued and protected by caregivers.
