It helps, to be raising children in a familiar environment, or at least one's home country with both parents sharing a common culture. But these ideal circumstances might actually be more of the exception than the rule, especially in our age of mobility. Mobility and migration pose great challenges to individuals, mainly in terms of adjusting to a new environment and culture.
