The present research employs the qualitative grounded theory method to develop an analytical and inductively derived theory that examines the current parental practices and techniques that successful, ethnically diverse families use to achieve positive outcomes with their children. It included a stratified sample of 20 families. These families are typical, married, blended, or divorced, and they provided testimony concerning their parenting style and experiences with their children. This study employed grounded theory (Corbin & Strauss, 2015) that focused on five research questions that explore the role of culture, parental involvement, spirituality, self-esteem, communication, and discipline in child development. Results were tabulated, reported, and analyzed to find practices for parenting. A theology of humanity, sin, and parenting are explored in the literature review portion to set the foundation for parenting. Current psychological theories regarding parenting are examined to finish the structure. Findings from this study revealed that the emergent themes to be the most salient in all ethnicities (Asian/Middle Eastern, African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic) in childrearing children, were open communication, intentional and quality time with children, demonstrating affection in a variety of ways, and the priority of academics. The importance of ethics and values and connected with a faith community. These findings highlight the importance of best parenting practices this group of families employs in childrearing through young adults.
