Sandwich Parenting

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

Listen Later

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.
