Family Relocation: The Challenges and Benefits for Third Culture Kids
Third Culture Kids (TCKs) are children who have spent a significant part of their developmental years in a culture different from that of their parents or the culture of their country of nationality. This often occurs due to family relocation for reasons such as job placements, military assignments, or diplomatic missions. The term “third culture” refers to the mixed identity that a child assumes, influenced both by their parents’ culture and the culture(s) in which they are raised.
