Resources for your Globally-Mobile Family
MOVING ABROAD?
WE'VE COMPILED OUR FAVORITE RESOURCES FOR EXPAT FAMILIES.
We work online with families of all nationalities, many of whom are expats, living in countries other than their home country. Many of our parents are raising Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and learning how to navigate parenting while traveling the world, living in new or unfamiliar places, and learning about different schools, communities and social networks.
For our Saturday Share this week, we've compiled our favorite articles and resources for Expat Families raising TCKs.
