Welcome to Sandwich Parenting!
Sandwiched Between Two Generations
Sandwich Parenting is about being sandwiched between two generations, the one that raised us and the one we are raising. Sandwich Parents may be caught between traditional versus modern values, authoritarian versus child-centred styles of parenting, or the cultures of their homeland and that of their adopted country. Sandwich Parents are trying to hold together many diverging interests and support a lot of different people!
Empowered Parenting
If you are rethinking your parenting approach or are struggling with triggers from parenting, join Sandwich Parents from around the world to develop your parenting playbook. Empower yourself to be the parent your children deserve.
Together we can develop our own unique parenting approach by understanding where the unspoken rules and routines we developed come from, and then developing the narrative to make sense of our past, so we can enjoy our present and invest in our children’s future as well as our own.
Making Yours Unique
Listen to interviews with Sandwich Parents and Sandwich Kids who have found their unique recipes for making it work in their family in episodes of the Sandwich Parenting Podcast and read the articles for parenting stories and book reviews. Going on this journey means making your parenting approach unique to your experience, background, resources, and personalities.
