In this episode of Unlocking The Parenting Code: All About Boys, we speak with Nazia Savrimootoo. Nazia’s parenting journey spans multiple cultures as her family moved from Mauritius to Zambia, Jordan, and Japan. Raising her son in these diverse environments brought challenges, especially with transitions disrupting routines like sleep and potty training. Parenting guilt often surfaced, but she prioritized consistency, maintaining stable routines and communication to navigate these shifts.

Determined to parent differently from her own authoritarian upbringing, Nazia fosters autonomy and values her son’s voice. She emphasizes kindness, collaboration, and open dialogue, while balancing career demands and adapting parenting to align with their family’s values across cultures.

Nazia reflects on the challenges of adjusting to new environments, balancing cultural values, and building strong family routines. She shares about fostering her son’s curiosity, teaching independence, navigating his friendships, and parenting through open communication and empathy—all while balancing her demanding role at school with motherhood.
