Robin Pascoe - Why is "Raising Global Nomads" about parenting in an on-demand world?

www.expatexpert.com This is the seventh piece in an 18-part on-line global lecture series 'Successful Living Abroad' based on the expatriate family book series by author Robin Pascoe. Each short segment (one hour in total if watched all at once) addresses the themes of global mobility examined in Pascoe's books: challenges for the accompanying expat spouse; raising children abroad; relocating a relationship; and finally, coming home again (repatriation.)
In this segment, Pascoe draws on her expat parenting book "Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World" to give the reasons behind the book's subtitle. Chief among those she delves into are that parent's behaviour can impact on children relocated internationally. She also identifies shifting family dynamics brought about by a 24/7 working world and the BlackBerry and how culture shock has been impacted in the digital age.
