Hello everyone,

Raising children as an expat in Bahrain means discovering new parenting habits. School routines, discipline, food habits, independence, social life… many things may work differently in Bahrain 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 Bahrain?

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 Bahrain, the local way.

Thank you for your contribution.
