Expat Parenting Show

There is no perfect way to parenting. We all find our way by trying & analyzing what works best for our family ecosystem. However, a children's ecosystem includes parents, grand-parents, teachers, friends and any other care-giver who spends a considerable amount of time with a child & influences their actions, behaviour & beliefs. Parenting becomes a little tricky especially when you land up in a new country in trying to understand and establish your ecosystem there. I am one such Expat Parent from Luxembourg who would discuss relevant parenting issues on this podcast one topic at a time.
