Expat Reports: Advice from Expats

Parenting-AbroadParenting in Trinidad & Tobago

Continuing our popular Expat Report series, we are proud to introduce our Parenting in Trinidad & Tobago Report. Over the course of the last year, a few women have generated a lot of buzz with their cultural perspectives on parenting. First came Amy Chua, the Chinese American mom who wrote "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom." More recently, Pamela Druckerman lit up the web with her new book "Bringing up Bebe," which is about why French parents are superior.

We want to offer you the chance to do the same, and hope you'll take us up on this opportunity to offer parenting advice to people the world over. We hope to bring your cultural insight to expats - and others - and see if it can't help them make the rough and tumble job of expat parenting just a little bit easier!
