  • Cracking the Cultural Code: Parenting Challenges Abroad
    Dec 7 2023

    Are you an adventurous parent navigating the challenges of raising a family overseas? It's time to crack the cultural code.

    Tune in to the "Pointers4Parents" podcast on Buzzsprout as we unlock the secrets to thriving in a new cultural setting with our guest speaker, Anna Danforth, the author of the book 'Raising a Family Overseas.' Joining us in this insightful conversation is our very own Dr. Lloyd.

    Anna’s cross-cultural journey began on her first day of kindergarten as the only non-French speaker in a class full of Quebecois kids. She moved to Cameroon at age 7 and later met her high school sweetheart, Sam, in Geometry class at Rain Forest International School. Anna and Sam have spent the last decade working and raising their kids in southern Africa.  They live on a fruit tree and macadamia farm with their best friends, some dogs, cats, and a horse.  Their son is a senior in high school and their daughter started college this Fall.  Anna drew on her experiences as a TCK, missionary, and teacher at the Africa Orientation Course to write Raising a Family Overseas.
