Editorial Reviews

Review

Finally, a book for parents who ask 'is there any book that tells me what to do about it all?' --Ruth E. Van Reken, co-author Third Culture Kids: The Experience of Growing Up Among Worlds.

It's like spending the weekend with people who will guide you through life as an expatriate family. --Dr. Anne Copeland, Director, Interchange Institute, Boston.

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last an answer to 'are we doing the right thing?' in relocating with children, September 16, 2006
By Knowledge Omnivore (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World (Paperback)
Perhaps no life decision is so wrought with uncertainty and apprehension as the one to relocate your children overseas, whether temporarily for an overseas assignment, sabbatical or extended world travel or permanently as emigrants. Will we be damaging them? Will they hate us? Will they suffer academically, personally, emotionally, physically? These are big questions, and before Robin Pascoe's wonderful new book 'Raising Global Nomads', there were few answers.

Pascoe takes us on a wonderful, humourous and above all intensely informative journey with her family, and yours. Every overseas family will instantly see themselves in Pascoe's often moving description of her family's trials and tribulations in adapting to life abroad. Workaholic spouse caught in a pressure cooker? Insane academic standards -- in kindergarten? Worries about safety, hygiene, friends, family, communication -- for everybody? Pascoe has an answer, and a calming and reassuring word, for them all. She also takes a clear and accurate look at 'parenting abroad in an on-demand world', assessing the impact of digital and virtual living on expatriate life.

In her 25 years as a foreign service spouse, journalist Pascoe moved her family a dozen times to destinations as diverse as Bangkok and Seoul, New York and Beijing, and found the toughest move of all was 'back home' to her native Canada. Pascoe generously shares not only her own experiences, but also the results of her extensive research into parenting abroad, including interviews and contributions from psychologists, sociologists, academics, consultants and relocation specialists.

If you make only one pre-departure, or pre-repatriation, purchase, let it be this book. Make sure your teenagers read it, your children's teachers, your spouse, the family's employers and above all their HR department. And keep it under your pillow.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-researched and easy-flowing, September 9, 2007
This review is from: Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World (Paperback)
My husband and I will be relocating abroad shortly, taking our toddler with us. Though this has been planned for a long time and we both look forward to it, moving abroad with a kid will definately be a shock to our system. This book has been an excellent pick to open our eyes to several issues that one tends not to dwell too much upon.

Very well-researched and easy to read without getting bogged down into details, coloured with a lot of the author's own personal experience and of those she has met in the same situation, all in all an excellent read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had ordered it 6 months ago!, April 7, 2008
This review is from: Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World (Paperback)
I am an American expat with 3 small children(married to an ATCK (adult third culture kid) who grew up overseas) on our first international assignment. I have been in Europe for 6 months and as I read the book I was simultaneously crying and laughing as I saw my life reflected in her writing. Some good words of wisdom. I will be sure to buy her book on "re-entry" when we move back to our home country.

I was disappointed with this book and stopped reading it early on when the author advocates a form of lying to your children in order to help them with culture shock. Read more
