This book is about the author s journey of learning, of growth, of awareness, about how to adapt and integrate my inherited culture, beliefs and values with the new culture. From an overseas Malaysian student forging a new life in Australia from a student to migrant parent. While learning the ropes of parenting, the author realised how much her inherited values, beliefs and culture influences had impacted on her parenting with her children in the new culture.For the first part of the book, the author will be sharing with you her journey from a student, to a working professional and a new parent. The new ideas the she learned along the way, and how those new ideas gradually became my new values and subsequently and gradually replacing my inherited rituals and ideology. However, for the major part of the book, what the author will be sharing with you is her journey with her children. As it was through the relationships with her children while maneuvering in a culture with different and conflicting parenting style, that resulted in the most profound life changing experiences. This book explains how her strong Asian work ethics gel with the easy going work ethics in Australia. How the role of Chinese filial piety rituals fit in the parenting paradigm in Australia, and poses the question: "Do we lose our values when parenting in a different culture?"You will learn about the author s parenting journey in a foreign culture, which challenged her to re-evaluate her inherited beliefs, values and culture. Her search for new wisdom in an unfamiliar territory of parenting, and working towards not only bridging generational gaps, but cultural gaps with her children.
