The source code to all of it is the way the Japanese view childhood—as a time of rigorous training for societal participation, where they learn from the start that are just one part of a larger whole. Katayama takes readers along with her as she travels back and forth from her motherland of Tokyo to the East Bay of California to expose her two American, mixed-race kids to the Japanese way of parenting. Readers will be inspired to take some of her insights—the importance of routine and ritual or the benefits of simplified spaces or the power in making everyday things cute—and adopt them into their own parenting, no matter where they live. \u003cbr\u003e   Read more\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 1.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e1e3e5; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 8px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eListening Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003e5 hours and 19 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eLisa Katayama\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eNarrator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eMichi Barall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003ePublication date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eApril 21, 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eWorkman Publishing Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eASIN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eB0FMKNR6HG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eVersion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eUnabridged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eProgram Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eAudiobook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e3e5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; font-weight: 600; width: 35%; vertical-align: top; background-color: #fafbfc;\"\u003eBest Sellers Rank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; vertical-align: top;\"\u003e#83,607 in Audible Books \u0026amp; Originals (See Top 100 in Audible Books \u0026amp; Originals)    #56 in Asian \u0026amp; Asian Descent Studies   #140 in Sociology of Marriage \u0026amp; Family (Books)   #169 in Asian \u0026amp; Asian American Biographies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956908581147,"sku":"AMZ-B0FMKNR6HG","price":1175.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1051\/1260\/0859\/files\/715Lq0GtVpL._SL1500.jpg?v=1789584562","url":"https:\/\/allbookmart.com\/products\/the-japanese-way-of-parenting-and-what-it-taught-me-about-raising-mostly-calm-caring-capable-kids","provider":"AllBookMart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
