Parent Support Meeting - Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Global and What it Means For Their Identity

Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Global and What it Means For Their Identity

This presentation will provide a solid understanding of who and what Third Culture Kid's (TCK'S) are, how this impacts their identity, how you as parents may be impacted, how to recognise and address some of the challenges that occur, as well as how to encourage and celebrate the many positive attributes that being a TCK brings.
