Episode 21 - Culture in the Cradle
/

Yvonne van der Pol and Joseph Shaules discuss cultural differences in parenting and the process of enculturation—how cultural patterns shape us as we grow up. We learn about the 3Rs of parenting in the Netherlands, and pressures Joseph felt to be a “winner” growing up in the US. Ishita Ray explains how the life lessons she learned growing up in Eastern India—as a young girl she was scolded for playing with boys—prepared her to fit in . . . or not . . . to Indian society.
