Raising Parents

We all have our own parenting journeys - full of laughter and tears late night snuggling and early morning trainings exam prep and fun musicals. Along this journey we as parents face so many questions! How do we raise our girls to be strong guilt free women? How to raise visionary ambitious respectful boys? How to be a mum and still have a life? This collection of stories tries to capture perspectives from Stay at Home Mums vs. Career Mums perspectives from the West vs the East perspectives from Tiger Mums vs the more chilled Mums. Women who have scaled the heights in the academia and the corporate worlds only to face the challenge of putting a baby to sleep and teaching an 8 year-old Singapore maths. Ranging in age from early thirties to mid-fifties and scattered across the globe from Singapore to London to Silicon Valley and to Queenstown; these mums reflect a spectrum of different upbringing - from Malaysian Peranakan roots to British boarding schools; with voices from Chinese French American and Russian families. The result is an honest and heartfelt glimpse of parenthood today. *** Special section included on the parenting journeys of dads
