    Eli and Jen are a husband and wife coaching team with two teen children.  They decided shortly after their first child was born they were going to parent differently than their parents did. They are professional coaches with years of training, certified by the World Coaching Institute as Child, Youth, Parent and Family Coaches. They work with parents who are dealing with toxic /dysfunctional / abusive parents trying to heal their childhood trauma to ensure they are not continuing the cycle with their own children.

    • Iris Chen: Untigering Parent

      Iris Chen played by the rules of society and was a great success by society's standards, but felt that those achievements didn't mean anything at the end of the day.  She is now on a journey of Untigering: which she defines as Gentle Parenting and Unschooling.  She is a deconstructing Tiger Mom, and in the process, brings us along to question our own upbringing and how we parent our own children. Listen to our podcast as we talk about interesting parenting topics such as obedience, past trauma, achievement, and consent-based living.

      In our conversation, Iris touches on numerous topics:

      • Obedience: how she initially defaulted to an authoritarian style of parenting and had a tendency to demand obedience.
      • Acknowledging Past Trauma: It is very important to explore our own wounds, our past trauma, not for blaming purposes, but to move forward. 
      • Learning: Instead of focusing on content, we should be giving our children the skills for how to learn. 
      • Curating Own Lifestyle: How her family created the family and community culture they wanted.
      • Achievement and expectation: We shouldn’t focus on the outward markers of achievement to prove that we’ve made it.
      • Consent-based living: It’s about how to honour our children. Unschooling isn’t just about education.

      • Su Family: From "Perfect Chinese Son" to "Backpacking Bum"

        Jonathan and Annie Su have learned to preserve values they learned from their parents and to evolve new ones as parents themselves.  Breaking from traditional immigrant Chinese expectations, they live their lives defined by their own meaning and passion.  I interviewed Jonathan and Annie Su on the last day of their quarantine in Hong Kong, right before they left for their third family Gap Year. Find out why they are the epitome of Sandwich Parenting in our inaugural podcast episode!  Visit their website Su Family Adventures!

        Authentic (and brutally honest), Jonathan and Annie share their experiences in our podcast, touching on numerous Sandwich Parenting Topics, such as:

        • Generational Difference: Jonathan and Annie had to move from survival mode to a focus on living with meaning.
        • Education: For Asians, education is important and its costs are usually all covered by parents, but they found a way uniquely theirs.
        • Cultural Differences: Parenting with cultural differences requires making a mind shift.
        • Mental Health Issues: Taking care of mental health is very important to do!
        • Meeting parental expectations: How they turned parental expectations upside down.

        About Sandwich Parenting

        From the publisher's feed

        Sandwich Parents are ‘sandwiched’ between two generations, the one that raised us and the one we are raising. In order to be the parents we want to be, we have to work on the 'me' in parenting. We invite guests from around the world who share their journeys and advice on how to navigate this delicate balance.
