parenting abroad

Parenting is one of life’s greatest adventures—but when you’re raising children in a foreign country, it transforms into a journey filled with extraordinary challenges, unforgettable experiences, and boundless opportunities for growth. That’s where Parenting Abroad: Thriving Together in a Foreign Land comes in—a comprehensive guide tailored to help parents build thriving families no matter where in the world they call home.

  • Book 1 (Maternity Abroad) was already very informative and we believe that book 2 follows a natural timeline by showing some of the challenges that parents might face when parenting abroad. There’s no doubt that parenting is one of the most difficult—and at the same time most rewarding—jobs one can have and adding the extra challenge of living abroad might feel lonely or even scarier sometimes, and that’s why books like yours are so important. They provide a sense of community and partnership among readers, and we’re sure it will make the lives of many parents easier.
