New Delhi – Many Indians are settling in the USA to give their children the best education facilities and for their bright future. Though this seems to be the leaning, some original American citizens appear to have an attraction for India. One of them is Kristen. She came to Delhi a few years ago and fell in love with India. Now, even though she has children, she doesn’t want to go back. She feels that her children should spend their childhood in India. In her post on social media, she has said that her children are enjoying their childhood in true sense in India. There are a few things which are not available in the USA.

1. There is a lot of diversity in Indian culture, languages and traditions. Children are learning various cultures, traditions and accept and respect them since they are exposed to these things at an early age.

2. Different languages are spoken in India. My children know Hindi and they get to hear even other languages which are increasing their conversational skills and understanding. It will definitely help them in future.

3. They are learning a new and expansive viewpoint to look at the world. They get to experience local problems; besides, problems faced by the world.

4. Children know the importance of family learning about the Indian family system and their emotional bonding with their family members becomes stronger.

5. There is a vast difference in economic levels among people in India; therefore, the children naturally learn the value of simple living, value of money and to be grateful for what they have.
