Asian Parenting Network

1. What is the objective of the Asian Parenting Network?

The main objective of the Asian Parenting Network is to provide an avenue for parents to share their experiences, issues, values and beliefs from a unique Asian perspective.

Asian parents have the challenging task of juggling traditional pregnancy and parenting beliefs with more contemporary practices. The Asian Parenting Network was created so that parents can discuss the pros and cons of these practices and beliefs before forming an informed opinion on the topic. Ultimately, the Asian Parenting Network is a forum by parents, for parents – it's a support system of like-minded individuals, all wanting to be the best parents they can be.
