Do you ever compare your parenting skills to others? Are you one of those people who pays close attention to how parents around the world are parenting differently? Are you surprised to hear when different skills from across the globe can help or transform your own?
Culture Mom Media is thrilled to be teaming up with the author of Parenting Without Borders: Surprising Lessons Parents Around the World Can Teach Us by Christine Gross-Loh. In her book, she takes readers on a multicultural tour of the world’s best parenting practices – from Finland, Sweden and Germany to France, Japan, China, Italy and beyond to examine how international parents successfully foster creativity, discipline, independence, resilience and academic excellence in their children.
During the party on Thursday, May 2nd at 9pm EST, we’ll get right to the heart of and dissect the matters we care most about when it comes to raising children: life skills, eating habits, manners, expectations, mom guilt, sleeping and our obsessions with praise (too much? not enough?). We’ll learn what we’re doing right and what we’re possibly doing wrong, and we’ll all certainly come away with a new slate of practices and goals.
In addition, we’ll be giving away amazing prizes every 10 minutes including:
- 6-10 copies of Parenting Without Borders (each copy is valued at $26)
- An author consultation with Christine about writing (a 30-minute call)
- A Girl in the World outfit from Girly Girl Productions (valued at $65)
- A Global DIY Doll Kit from Culture Baby (valued at $20)
- Two copies of Paper Suncatchers: Make Beautiful Origami Stars For Your Windows (valued at $9.95)
- And more!
Sounds like a great discussion, Holly. I just ordered Christine’s book and can’t wait to read it and see what tips she says.
