 BRAT culture search November 17, 2008
Still reading this RARE topical find. It is mostly about people who grew up as kids or "brats" around the world -- State Dept., etc. There are certainly big paralells, ideas that applied to us military people who grew up around the country and world. I'm still on the hunt for a modern day publication that addresses US specifically -- growing up on post/base, in the environment, with the military culture and then the cut away from it, the adjustment, the lack of support because we're "used to be's" for services but "once a brat always a brat" inside. It would be great, a God send, to find a resource such as this for which I am searching. Closest read I've found yet. BIRTH ARMY TO ARMY TO LOCAL NAT'L/MILITARY TO ARMY CIV TO AIR FORCE TO civilian non military: "out here". M. Donnan
Married to a third culture kid? November 5, 2008
This book is so helpful for anyone married to a third culture kid - or contemplating it. It provides great insight to help understand a very different world view. Congratulations to the authors.
Best on Topic April 21, 2008
I think this is the best book written on the topic of third culture kids. The book is insightful and answers questions that are just under the surface for both kids and those who love them.
A must read book for both parents and children of expatriates January 13, 2008
This book discusses emotional and identity development of children growing up in foreign countries and re-entry issues. This is an excellent book for those who have lived abroad during the developmental years 0 - 18 and for parents. A must read!
a must read for parents going overseas with children December 30, 2007
This book was recommended to us and I would recommend it to anyone living outside their own culture with kids. The information is very valuable to helping children adjust and understanding how growing up outside their culture will affect them.
