Part 3 Repatriation and Kids | Eight Mistakes Parents Make

Most people expect going abroad to be hard, but they don’t expect returning home to be as challenging. In particular, they often underestimate the challenge kids will have re-adjusting. While meaning to be helpful there are eight common mistakes parents make that actually make readjusting harder for kids. Today on the podcast we look at each of these mistakes and discuss a healthier approach to support our kids in transition!

This topic is part of our April focus on how to navigate transitions in expat life. This is the third part of a 3-part series on culture shock and repatriation, we’ll also be discussing how to support kids transitioning to new schools, and how to deal with stuff in frequent or international moves.

On the podcast you'll learn:

• Why people expect repatriation to be easier and why it's not
• How to help ourselves and our kids manage their expectations
• How to help kids manage their emotions
• What the latest research says about physical objects and their role in transition
• How to empower kids feel more included with their peers
