Coffee Morning : Parenting and Emotional Self-Care

Raising kids in a country that isn't your own means a lot of small, quiet moments. You might be decoding a school notice with a translation app, or comforting a homesick seven-year-old when you're a bit homesick yourself. If any of that sounds familiar, you'll fit right in at this table.

This is a relaxed coffee morning for expat parents in Taipei. Come for the coffee and stay for the conversation about parenting, cultural adjustment and looking after your own emotional wellbeing along the way.

On the table (besides the coffee)

• Parenting when "home" is complicated. How family life changes when your kids are growing up between cultures.

• Cultural adjustment. Theirs and yours, which often don't happen at the same pace.

• Emotional self-care. You come last on the to-do list a lot. Here you get to come first for a morning.

What you'll leave with

You'll hear from other parents who've been through the same things and pick up practical tools you can actually use at home. It's not a lecture. Expect honest stories, useful ideas and the comfort of hearing "oh, us too."
