Mali, these guys are looking for music by TCKs and other stuff, check it out. Love, mama

I have been having trouble getting onto the page that gives the info on local chapters. I Need the info for the Taiwan group.

If anyone in Greenville, SC needs a cross cultural group, Overbrook Gospel chapel is the place! Contact me!

I have found the Advocate who never forgets us!!! His name is Jesus Christ, Jesucristo, and Love in any language!!

Being a TCK is a great blessing to me. I know where I am from! Heaven is the place and Jesus is His name!!

I am raising the fourth generation of third culture kids and, still, repatriating is the most difficult.

I love that Makati is on this list, and Manila isn't!

Excellent article for parents of TCK's and teachers, alike.

It is good, but I wish there was more practical advice for parents to be pro-active.

In my experience, both with a Korean child in the US school system and American children in the Korean school system, systems aren't likely to change, but pro-active parents can help pave the way for understanding.

Most teachers really do want to help their students, but they have to know how and they don't have time to sit down and puzzle over each child themselves.

I have two children adopted from Thailand. They are 4 yrs.
apart, they were close. I think they were happy to have
each other. They are now 20 & 24 and stay in touch by
phone from different states.

Having an older sister while growing up in 9 countries by age 16 was critical in retaining my sanity. I was messed up enough as it was from all the relocations; if I hadn't had a sibling to help me out, I shudder to think how I would have turned out! Then again, some kids are better at adapting than others. My sister, for example, was a social ... See Morechameleon and easily adapted to the plethora of new schools we moved to. On the other hand, I was very shy and had a very difficult time saying goodbye to old friends and having to make new ones.

Sorry, probably not much help to you.

YES - HAVE OTHER CHILDREN...and my mother suggests: have a 'spare'...I lost my sister some years ago, which was a double loss: a sister and the only other person who shared my life. Things are somehow less real now. This is dark humour, of course, but the experience is real and should be taken into account when decision making.
