Description: Your child can grow up anywhere in the world and still grow up rooted, respectful, and unmistakably Indian.
Raising Indian kids abroad comes with a quiet worry every NRI parent knows: will they lose it? Will the next generation still touch an elder's feet, share their food, welcome a guest like family, or know why we light a diya? 365 Values to Raise Your Kids Indian is the daily Indian parenting handbook built to answer that worry - one value a day, for a full year.
This is not a book about Bollywood, cricket, or trivia about India. It is a practical, day-by-day guide to raising respectful, grounded, family-first children - whether you're raising Indian kids in the USA, Indian kids in the UK, Indian kids in Canada, Indian kids in Australia, or right at home in India navigating a fast-changing world.
Inside this Indian values book for kids and families, you'll find:
- 365 short, numbered daily values - one Indian value a day for kids and parents to read, discuss, and live together
- 17 chapters covering Indian food etiquette, respect for elders, family togetherness, caring for aging parents, honesty, kindness, Indian hospitality (Atithi Devo Bhava), manners, festivals and rituals, education, money and contentment, community, spirituality, sibling bonds, marriage and duty, resilience, and legacy
- A full regional glossary of Indian family relationship terms - Chacha, Bhaiya, Didi, Mama, and more - across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, and Punjabi, so your kids know exactly what to call every relative and why it matters
- Real explanations of *why* each Indian tradition and value matters - not just rules, but the reasoning grandparents never had to explain because everyone already understood
- A values framework that works across all Indian religions and regions - Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jain - because these are family values, not religious instructions
Perfect for: NRI parents raising Indian kids abroad, Indian-American and Indian-origin families, second-generation Indian parents, grandparents who want to pass down tradition before it's lost, new parents building a values-first home, desi parenting circles, and Indian families anywhere who want their children to stay connected to Indian culture, Indian manners, and Indian family values without a single lecture.
Read one entry at breakfast. Discuss one at bedtime. Return to the ones that matter to your family and skip the ones that don't fit yours. This is a living tradition passed down in 365 small, doable pieces - not a rulebook, and not a guilt trip.
