Parenting in Italy vs. the U.S. And Why Coming Home Felt So Hard

from Roamaroo · host Scott & Collette

In this episode of the Roamaroo Podcast, we unpack what it really felt like to come back to the United States after months in Italy, and why the hardest part wasn’t leaving, but returning. This conversation digs deep into the differences between parenting in Italy versus parenting in the United States. We discuss how place shapes identity, what it means to raise kids in a system versus in a culture, and how Italy impacted our parenting style. We share how our experience with Boundless Life challenged our assumptions about education and daily life and we ask a bigger question: is Italy a better fit for our family? 400 Euro Off Boundless Life: https://refer.boundless.life/COLSTO79 Subscribe to the Roamaroo Podcast!
