The Insead Moms and How We Mastered the Baby Administration MS Nazrin Mirzayeva

Pamela Druckerman, Gina Ford and Steve Biddulph are just some of the major names that have somehow shaped the minds of many parents all around the world: from Azerbaijan to Mexico, from France to Georgia, to China and so on. Sometimes, however, circumstances leave you unprepared and the best answer to all questions is simply practice and experience, your own or that of other people around you. At INSEAD, there is a community of partners who have to adapt to not only the new life of parenthood, but also a new place, often experiencing language barriers and cultural differences. How do they cope? And how can we record and share their wisdom for newly incoming families, and just any travelling family, to make their life a little easier? The strong, wise and courageous moms who I met on campus, have motivated me to collect the stories of INSEAD Moms. Eventually, it led to the creation of the book "INSEAD Moms and How We Mastered the Baby Administration (MBA)." This book features 11 interviews with mothers from all over the world (France, USA, Turkey, Ukraine and etc.) who came to Fontainebleau with their children when their partners began their MBA at INSEAD. What they all have in common, is the great bond they formed while living in France and the experience of acquiring new habits or improving the existing mindsets and attitudes on their way to successful parenting. This book is also for anyone who has ever lived in France or is planning a visit to this magical country. You will find some useful tips and practical comments about different aspects of the French lifestyle.
