5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable read,
By Anne Huscroft (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World (Paperback)
A book full of useful insights about bringing up children when living overseas. Boundaries and discipline form part of the explanations, as well as sympathy and tips about how to deal with issues when they occur.I would recommend this to any expat parent who's nervous about not "spoiling" their loved ones to make up for living outside their "expected" environment. The section on repatriation is accurate and helpful, as I recently found out!

Reassuring stories, but not appropriate for everybody,

This review is from: Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World (Paperback)
This book provided a decent overview of what one might expect when moving a family overseas. There were some helpful hints and plenty of food for thought here. I was a bit off-put by the author's assumption that when one takes a position abroad one earns a lot of money, hires a relocation service, has company support during the move, or household help after. Her recommendation to turn to those extra privileges when things get tough is not appropriate for everyone (e.g., those of us in the academic research world). I found this book lacking in the gritty details of helping kids to not only live through, but thrive in this kind of nomadic life. That said, I found Pascoe's anecdotes and tips reassuring and appreciated the final chapter on identity development.

Helpful, Reassuring and Very Informative,
By Knowledge Omnivore (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World (Paperback)
Anyone already familiar with Robin Pascoe's warm and engaging style will not be disappointed with this book, which is as funny as it is informative. In guiding us through the potential minefield that is raising your children between cultures, she draws not only on her own extensive experience in parenting abroad, but also on her many years as the web's Expat Expert, and as a successful and renowned global speaker on family relocation issues. She has clearly heard almost every story of global parenting, and makes great use of this treasure trove of experience. She has also done extensive research on children's development and creating optimum environments for their happiness and success, under the most trying circumstances, and this helps inform this very thorough, and informative, book. If you are feeling unsure and insecure about your own overseas parenting style, don't hesitate to buy this book -- and even if you already know you're on the right path, Pascoe will amuse, entertain and enlighten. No mean feat in an on-demand world!
