I am relating my experience here. This posting does not imply that this approach is a right approach. Nobody really starts a job of parent with training or previous experience :(. I am just trying to narrate what I did and what I got so far.

Also, most of the stuff I am stating is more reactive than proactive. I am not bringing anything new to the discussion; rather responding to the issues that came up earlier.

1. First of all, I don't think I am really a role model. So I don't try to make my daughter like me. Also I have a limited expectations. My goal is to make her a good human being, not a good indian.

2. Since my daughter has spent half of her life so far in India, probably she has developed some of the attachment. so it may not be relevant to the situation discussed here.

3. In case of my daughter, her parents do not share mother-tongue. so any way we needed to make a decision about the language she should be learning. My doctor advised me to use one language till she becomes fluent in it; then introducing other languages. I chose mine (which was also a local language of communication), the advantage was that my husband could speak it as well. My daughter started speaking when she was 15 months and was fluent by 2 1/2. so I really didn't have to wait long.

4. we chose english medium, since we needed the mobility for our careers, even within India. She was introduced to english in school. It helped that her pre-schooling was in India, where teachers didn't expect children to be fluent in English.

5. We stay in predominantly white area with very low diversity. She was the only asian in her school; with very few africans (hatacyaa baÜTavar maÜjaNyaa[tko). she refused to carry indian food in lunch box. She loves indian food and relishes it at home / indian restaurant. At the same time, she feels the need to conform with her peers. Fortunately for me, meat was not a problem, as her father's family is traditionally non-vegeterian.

She visits India alone for months in her summer vacation. When she is there, she shares the same food habits as the family she is staying with. She also shares liking for "vaishali" to my delight :)

6. She used to get upset if we speak to her in public (park, mall) in indian language, when she came here. Now she has gotten over it. she enjoys having a secret language for communication and also knowing more than one language. Though she had no exposure for hindi, she can manage it when she visits my sister in B'bay. All the children in their building speak in hindi with each other and she does not feel out of place.

7. She enjoys ivaM da. cao raNaIcaa baaga as much as "falling up" by shel silverstein. she needs baaLa jaÜ jaÜ ro to fall asleep. She really surprised me the other day. She was asked to sing a sauravaT, She was getting confused. then she tried using saa ro ga ma and it worked ! I haven't taught her indian classical music (though she was exposed to it at home). Children tend to pick up these things.

8. She likes some things in india, like food, dresses, people. Her favourite holiday destination is "goa". At the same time she enjoys her school, friends and her dog here. I should be grateful that she feels at home in both places.

9. jaajvalya AiBamaanaacaa ~asa hI hÜ] XaktÜ. when children in her class used to say US is best, she used to respond that "you feel this way, since you have not seen any other country". Though it is right, kids at that age are not mature enough to understand / accept it. I positively dreaded the fights this caused :(

on the practical side, I would suggest that if you are staying here for considerable years, and if you don't have indian neighbours (rather neighbours who share your values) with kids, think about having more than 1 child. It gives them a playmate and reduces their dependancy on outside friends. Also they have somebody who'd support them, when it comes to defend their values.

Also teach them to judge what is good and what is bad. You can talk about situations, describe the behaviours of tom & dick and ask your child what is right behaviour. Also teach them how to stand peer pressure.

If possible, invite their friends home, instead of sending your child to their place. This way you can observe and see what influence they might bring. Never criticize their friends (respect that a person and his/her behavior are different and later can be changed). However make sure to discuss the things you didn't approve, when you are alone with child. Invite his/her opinion and allow him/her to defend it.

I think this is universal enough. even if I had stayed in india, I'd need to do this. Even our parents had to bear with some of the things, like change in food habits, dress etc for us. So I guess, one has to make sure that issue is important enough to be raised and discussed.
