I found an interesting post at The Smart Expat. She is mother of two third culture kids (TCKs) and she wrote a post on Where do you come from? Her daughter had lived in five countries and her son had lived in four different countries. This question is the most difficult question or one of the most difficult questions for children who grow up in different cultures. They are known as third culture kids or global nomads. They could be expat kids, but it is not necessary.
Is `where do you come from?` a difficult question for you? It was during my university days. Do you have any interesting links on kids growing up in other cultures? Please add your links in the comment section. Thanks.
A great list - impressive for only two months along! Glad you've shared these posts as they make for interesting reading and reflection.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your comment. I am so glad that there are new children's books, blog posts and articles being written on kids growing up in others cultures. There is still so much to learn about it.
