Hello everyone,

Raising children as an expat in Brazil means discovering new parenting habits. School routines, discipline, food habits, independence, social life鈥� many things may work differently in Brazil compared to your home country.
In order to help fellow expats and soon-to-be expats to adapt, we invite you to share your insights:

What has surprised you most about raising kids in Brazil?

How would you describe the local daily routine for kids?

Have you adopted local habits, or do you mix them with your own culture?

How do your kids navigate growing up between cultures? Do they feel local, expat, or both?

Do you face any challenges, or want to share any funny moments, or cultural misunderstandings?

Share your story, your tips, or your doubts to help expat parents and soon-to-be parents in raising kids in Brazil, the local way.

Thank you for your contribution.

Cheryl,

Our Brazilian American daughter was raised in the USA, but my wife owns a very popular Sorvetes shop in Northeastern Brazil which has become a popular hangout similar to a Starbucks. The only thing I can add is that kids at least in our village do not spend as much time with their phones as those in the USA.
