What to Do When Your Parenting Style Clashes with the Local Culture

The Expat Mom Podcast

Apr 11 2022 • 34 mins

Have you ever had someone give you unsolicited advice about how to mother?  Living in another culture can compound this experience many times.  Different cultures have different styles and values about parenting which drives different behaviors and expectations.  As expat moms, we are often navigating not only deciding what’s best for our kids but doing it in a context when other parents around us are making very different decisions.  This can cause confusion, frustration, and even self-doubt.  Having lived abroad for the last decade and a half with my 4 daughters, I know this experience well.  On the podcast, you’ll likely resonate with some of the stories of parenting culture clashes!  And I’ll share three tools about how to navigate cultural parenting differences while living abroad.
