Abstract: Parenting challenges faced by immigrants around the world have been documented in various studies. However, to date, researchers have not taken the time to compare parenting challenges between Zimbabwean parents in Wollongong, Australia and those in Harare, Zimbabwe. In this study, I aimed to do just that. Methodology: Through a phenomenological approach using mixed method study, the researcher interviewed some participants and grouped their responses into 8 different thematic approaches, while others we asked to fill out questionnaire forms. Thematic and content analysis was done to identify common themes and patterns in the participants’ stories. Data coding based on the identified themes was done. Microsoft Excel was used for statistical analysis, resulting in descriptive statistics presented in charts, tables and graphs. The results of this study highlight the importance of taking into account cultural, social and environmental factors that contribute to the differences in parenting challenges across different settings.
