My daughter was two years old when I first came to Afghanistan. At the time, I was both excited and apprehensive about what parenting in Afghanistan would be like. Like being a mum anywhere in the world, there have been highs and lows, precious memories made and challenging moments I’ve learned from. My daughter is now seven and we have a one-year-old son, and despite the challenges, I can honestly say that bringing my children up here continues to be a rewarding experience.
