For Diaspora Parents
Raising Children in a Country That Isn't Yours
You are raising children in a country that is not yours. What you give them is the question.
For the immigrant and diaspora parent working through what it means to raise children in a country different from where they grew up — and what cultural identity they are transmitting intentionally or unintentionally
The Name It First Experience
You are a parent in a country you came to. The country you are from is alive in your home — in the food, the language, the stories, the values. The country your children are growing up in is something different. You are navigating that gap every day. What you transmit to them about who they are, where they come from, and what they carry from your culture is one of the most significant acts you will perform as a parent. This workbook is about naming what you are giving them. You leave with The Diaspora Parents Identity Charter — a named account of what you are passing forward.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What are you passing to your children from your culture — and how much of it is intentional versus just what you live?
- What do you want your children to carry from where you came from — and what are you doing to give it to them?
- What gap are you navigating between the world you grew up in and the world your children are growing up in?
Research basis
Grounded in Berry's acculturation framework, Portes and Rumbaut's segmented assimilation theory, and Hughes and Chen's ethnic-racial socialization research on intentional cultural transmission.
