A lot has changed since well-known Canadian author Robin Pascoe wrote Culture Shock! A Parent's Guide. The world has become globalized, digitalized, and sadly, terrorized. That's the big picture that Pascoe examines in Raising Global Nomads. In her own life, the author's day job raising her two children has ended as her daughter begins a career as an environmental activist and her son heads to university. In her fifth book for expatriate families, the author recounts with honesty and trademark humour what worked for her family and shares the hard lessons learned. Parenting styles in general, and of third culture kids in particular, have changed dramatically, prompting this timely and comprehensive reexamination of the challenges of parenting abroad.
Robin Pascoe's reputation as a funny, engaging and inspirational international speaker on the subject of her five books on global living was earned as a former Canadian diplomatic spouse (on postings to Bangkok, Taipei, Beijing and Seoul); raising two third culture kids, and by traveling globally to over 25 countries for more than a decade from her home base in North Vancouver, Canada.
Robin is also the go-to expert for corporations interested in understanding the needs of expats and their families and making recommendations for family-friendly relocation policies.
Her website, which went up over a decade ago, has tons of articles also to read if you are preparing to move abroad so have a visit at http://www.expatexpert.com.
She recently posted a video lecture series based on the themes of all of her books called "Successful Living Abroad" which can be viewed at http://www.expatexpert.com/video_lectures. You can watch one of them directly below this biography.
If you are a social media person, she tweets most days with links to articles or information about expats at http://twitter.com/expatexpert. She's also on Facebook as Expat Expert at http://www.facebook.com/pages/ExpatExpertcom/43896605366 and and part of the Linked In network http://www.linkedin.com/in/expatexpert.
