ABOUT THE BOOK – Strong Roots to Live an Empowered Life
I want for my children is to be safe. And strong. With good behavior and decision making skills to boot, with a lot of kindness sprinkled on. To be rooted in their values, no matter what storms blow across their life. Strong Roots Have No Fear – talks about raising children with a confident and global mindset.
I can only assume you are nodding your heads in unison. Yes, we want our children to excel academically but more than that, we want them to win at life. Not in the getting a trophy kind of way but a, able to find the silver lining in every situation or being a culturally aware kind of way.
Do you worry about your child’s future?
Of course you do. You are a parent. That means fears are a part of your life every single day. Wondering how you will teach your kids to navigate this elaborate maze called life.
I often hear comments of trepidation, “Oh! Wait till they hit their teen years.” or “Some day they are going to forget everything about our culture. ” or “This generation is so spoiled.” etc. and I wonder why are parents doubt the values they are providing their children? Sure, the kids will have a phase of rebellion and self discovery but that does not mean they will never find their way back. There is no guarantee for tomorrow but to be so negative in your own mindset hampers your child’s vision of themselves.
Having high expectations of our children may hamper their growth but knowing we believe in them will help them stand strong no matter the struggle. And life is so full of struggles, right? While we cannot control our kids future, we as parents sure can create a solid foundation for our children to grow into. Giving them their history to anchor them, their present to grow into and their future to look towards with joy.
When I was young, my mom constantly talked to me about being good, manners, being strong in my choices and a LOT of that had a big effect on many decisions I made later in life. Decisions that were life altering. The lessons my parents taught me and a lot they didn’t, form the crux of all that I have achieved in my life. All the decisions that taken timely saved me in my darkest moments.
That is partly why I started writing about the many challenges parents face in balancing current cultures and their own heritage. To have one space where parents can go for easy answers or relatable content. That mission grew into what you are reading today, a magazine for parents by parents because we all can after all learn from each other.
Empowering Children to Thrive in a Multicultural World with Intuitive Parenting
Strong Roots Have No Fear
Over the course of the past 8 years, I have come across few simple strategies that negate all the current mumbo jumbo surrounding parenting. All we need to do is trust our instinct and make sure the kids grow rooted within prepared for the many challenges an ever evolving multicultural world will provide. So how do you give your children strong roots?
- By providing them sound start in their early years.
- Teaching kids to stand tall in face of life’s milestones.
- Imparting the vision to make good choices.
- A global mindset that helps build awareness within.
To that end, I bring to you the very first book that talks in a most straight forward language about all the above in great detail with tips of everything below. Parenting our children with a strong, culturally aware mindset enables us to be optimistic about their future thus removing a lot of the fear associated with an unknown tomorrow.
In the book you will find
- The confidence to be intuitive as a parent.
- Introspection towards mindful living.
- Timeless strategies to impart a positive mindset.
- A global approach to nurturing your multicultural family.
- How to be culturally sensitive and rooted within self.
While the book is aimed at parents raising kids aged 0-10, most of the timeless life lessons in it are applicable to any age really After all, most of us can use reminders of what to do with bullies, how to deal with self doubt, increasing self empowerment, being aware about the world with an open mind etc.
Most importantly, it is not a “one size fits all” solution. It is a – “here is the fabric and ideas, get creative with your own dress” solution to parenting everywhere.
You can find ALL my work in one place here or get a taste of what the book includes HERE.
I’m passing on all that I have implemented and learned over the past years, so you do not have to ask anyone the question, “What tips would you give me to make sure my kids grow strongly rooted in values, right from the beginning?” .

Your book seems absolutely amazing! It should be a must-read for all parents. As a mom of 3, I often have the same concerns, and would love to find tips and comfort from your book.
Love this, it’s so true!!
Your book seems so interesting, love this post!!
This sounds like such a great book! I love all of your advice and definitely something I think all new parents struggle with 😉

[…] The sooner the kids learn how to handle themselves and their emotions, the sooner they will be prepa… Just because they are treated like princes and princesses at home does not necessitate that the world will treat them well. There will be others who would be more popular, more intelligent, more knowledgeable than them. […]

This is the first time I’m hearing about this book. I will definitely check it out.
Yes, we want our kids to win at life, but I also want mine to be a happy kid. Happy kids are happy teens and so on…at least I hope so.
Such a great message! Yes, they need a great solid foundation!
This is the first time I have ever heard of this book. I will have to check it out.
This sounds like a great resource for parents! I’ll have to pass it on to some of my friends.
Boy did this section come at the right time as I was little muttering, ‘wait until their teenagers’ “Sure, the kids will have a phase of rebellion and self-discovery but that does not mean they will never find their way back. There is no guarantee for tomorrow but to be so negative in your own mindset hampers your child’s vision of themselves.”
No matter how much love and intention you offer your kids, they do rebel a bit– but then sprinkles of what you’ve provided start to circle back. It’s a waiting game, but well worth it.
I love learning about popular children’s books that actually have a message. This one looks like the perfect gift for any parent or child.
I love the idea of working to build a global mindset! My parents are from Italy, and I think I had that sort of “built in” to me. Not everyone does, and I think it’s really important!
What an incredible book! As a parent I know what I want my kids to learn but not always how those things should be taught. Adding this to my to-read list!

[…] Taking up any extra curricular activity is a wonderful way for kids to learn to listen to others. Children are often free at home, to behave as they will. But in an outside setting, with a coach to work with, instructions to follow teaches them to listen and be concise about following step by them. My kids currently are in gymnastics, swimming, dance and Tae Kwan Do. Now, I have reasons for doing all 4 but one activity at a time is great as well. My son used to have a hard time listening, but now I have seen him grow focused and even grow to love. The condition of course is for your child to love the activity to begin with. I have mentioned in my book how to discover and build a love for a passion to follow in their life time. […]
