In today's increasingly interconnected world, how do we prepare our children to succeed and to become happy, informed global citizens? A mother of three, author Tavangar has spent her career helping governments develop globally oriented programs and advising businesses on how to thrive abroad. Here, she shares her "parenting toolbox" to help give our children a vital global perspective. Whether you're mastering a greeting in ten different languages, throwing an internationally themed birthday party, or celebrating a newfound holiday, Growing Up Global provides parents and children with a rich, exciting background for exploring and connecting with far-flung nations they may have only heard about on television.--From publisher description.
