From KQED in San Francisco, I'm Nina Kim. Coming up on forum, parenting in the U.S. when you're an immigrant, which often comes with its own set of challenges and questions,

like how to react when your child does not want to learn your native language,

or rejects your lovingly made Tiffin or bento in favor of a P.B. and J.

Or complains that you're putting too much pressure on them to succeed.

This hour, we talk with parents navigating the obstacles and the opportunities of raising a child far from the country they came from. Join us. This is Forum. I'm Nina Kim.

We're often more likely to hear the experiences and perspectives of the children of immigrants than of the immigrant parents themselves,

trying to raise their kids in America. Masha Rumer, who came to the U.S. from the Soviet Union when

she was 13 years old, felt acutely this lack of stories and representation of immigrant parents

after the birth of her first child. To fill that void,

she's written Parenting with an accent, which inspired today's segment. This hour, we'll

hear from parents navigating the challenges of raising a child in a country far from where they

were born. And if this is you, we want to hear from you. Tell us the hard, the weird, the wonderful that comes with being an immigrant parent.

Masha Rumer, thanks for being with us.
