Parenting Around the World Apr 15, 2017

Show notes

Richard and Linda talk to us today from Dubai, in the middle of their around the world speaking (and kids visiting) tour. It is an amazing opportunity to see how parenting is treated in cultures different to our own. The core advice that they give to an American or Christian audience is surprisingly similar to how they structure their speaking to an Asian or Muslim audience. Kids are kids and parents are parents no matter how far away from home you get, and we are all just trying to raise a respectful and amazing new generation. Happy Easter from Dubai!
