Even within nations there can be big differences. Surveys give a general impression but your experience can be different. Thanks for your comment. What's your experience of children growing up in Singapore?DrieCulturenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967917534503254138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-16407648369675810092012-07-19T08:39:04.455+02:002012-07-19T08:39:04.455+02:00My 3 boys have 8 yrs of wonderful childhood in the...My 3 boys have 8 yrs of wonderful childhood in the United States!

Before I ...Hallo Camilla, thanks for your question. Before I answer your question I want to warmly welcome you to our "cold" country (sorry about the cold weather).<br />It's true children learn new languages very fast and your son will learn Dutch more quickly that you will. At the age of 5 he will be able to pick up things fast because he is still young.<br />One thing that is important if you are really stressed and worried about the move this will rub off on him and he will be worried and uncomfortable about the move. If you are relaxed about it, he will be confident that things will work out.<br />It's difficult to give you an advice but in general it is possible to move internationally with kids, and with some help they can do fine. Wishing you well. greetings JannekeDrieCulturenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967917534503254138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-81130677745563414442012-04-25T20:42:34.283+02:002012-04-25T20:42:34.283+02:00Hello!

Some people said that the cildren with five learn soo fast that he will speak dutch much more fast than me. But, in other hand, some people said that is not fair with him go to another school now, that i have to wait more... this things. Please, if is possible, i really like to know what you think about this.<br />Regards,<br />CamillaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-56308273808103185472011-12-25T22:39:37.222+01:002011-12-25T22:39:37.222+01:00Thanks Will for your comment.

I'm glad you agree with the Netherlands as #2 (that's where I blog from). <br />Would like to hear your motivation about not wanting to raise children in the list of the other countries.DrieCulturenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967917534503254138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083060414078872115.post-84074958621496890322011-12-25T22:12:07.426+01:002011-12-25T22:12:07.426+01:00From that list, I would put Singapore as #1 and Th...From that list, I would put Singapore as #1 and The Netherlands as #2.<br /><br />I would never want to raise children in Australia, China, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, the United States, or the United Kingdom.<br /><br />I don't know France or Hong Kong well enough to say either way.Will Spencerhttp://www.expatintelligence.comnoreply@blogger.com
