The Parenting Trap
The Parenting Trap is not a book that dishes out parenting know-hows and to-dos. Instead, Singaporean Chinese Mum Karen Foote, who is married to her Australian husband Craig, shares her personal struggles as well as joy as she navigates her way through two vastly different cultures to find her own identity and what it means to be a parent, distilling the best of Eastern and Western parenting wisdom and knowledge for her two sons. Whether your kids are raised in a multi-racial or single-culture home, you will find The Parenting Trap an earnest call for you to step out of your comfort zone and break away from any trap to raise your kids confidently – your way!
