Multicultural Parenting: Lessons from Around the World with Marina Lopes
What if the way we parent is shaped more by culture than we realize? Multicultural parenting offers a fresh perspective on how families around the world build community and raise children. In today's episode, I sit down with Marina Lopes, a Brazilian American journalist and author of "Please Yell At My Kids," to explore how cultural traditions influence parenting decisions and what we can learn from them.
We discuss the challenges American parents face, often raising children without the support systems found in other cultures, and how this independence can feel isolating. Marina shares her experiences from living and parenting across ten countries, offering stories that challenge assumptions and inspire new ways of thinking about family and community.
Together, we explore the role of multigenerational relationships, the importance of creating a support network, and how traditions from around the world can help us rethink parenting norms. Tune in to discover how embracing different perspectives can make parenting a more connected and fulfilling experience!
