You're doing a great job at keeping the doors open to Tiger's heritage and lineage.

This will only give him a greater understanding of "who he is" when others his age are still searching.

Kudos to you!

This is absolutely fantastic! He probably has no idea what a "rich" person he really is with regard to his heritage! I hope when he's older, he will pass all of it on to his children. Good for you on embracing it all as well!

Wow! That's so great! This is such a privelege.By the time he finishes highschool he can have total of four languages under his belt. The other great thing about it is, his father speaks the language and this will help him become more fluent. He's truly BLESSED & the possibilities are great!

What lucky children to have such a wealth of diversity and for you to encourage it.It's important for children to identify with their background and heritage and see how they are part of it.Good luck to Tiger I hope he realises what a lucky boy he is.

I think that's WONDERFUL Ana! I think he is so lucky to have your support and such an enthusiasm for it. I wish I had done the same getting to know myJapanese grandmother's heritage. She's still alive but she is not as well. I would love to hear it from her directly but I guess I can just research it online. :)
And maybe your ex will also be able to teach Tiger Arabic as well! So he'll grow up tri-lingual. :)

Will you do the same for Tar?

Passing thru & couldn't help but read your blog & post a comment. I agree with Execumama. I Just wanted to add that your son taking hebrew classed to learn the language is an excellent idea. It is really such a great advantage for him. The title of your blog is right on & so true.

That IS awesome, Ana! Isn't it incredible how children can take interest in things and then excel at them w/out much of a push from us? Tiger is already a citizen of the world, and I bet he can move on to Arabic w/out so much a a flinch! Will you be looking into Arabic lessons for him? Maybe doing the lessons simultaneously will be an advantage for him. So cool!
