Though parenting is the toughest and most important job in the world, we do not get any prior training about how to do it. We do it based on how we saw our parents raised us, or we just go by the ‘gut’ feeling'. Would you do the same thing in any other job in the world? No way!!  

There are many parenting books, websites, and shows out there about good parenting...but do they speak directly to you and your experience as you bring up your kids? In today's age of social media, we are all 'global parents' raising our kids to become "global citizens". As Asian Indian parents irrespective of what part of the world we live in, we parent in the "context of our culture" (which is diverse in itself depending on what part of India/world you grew up in). However, our 'overarching goal for parenting' is the same!  " To raise self-reliant, respectful, compassionate human beings who are happy and satisfied with life". If this is your parenting goal and you are a parent raising future global citizens, then this podcast is for you!! Come and join the journey of “Global Desi Parenting”!
