Description
In this episode we tackle an issue that comes up for many multilingual or multicultural families: moving. We talk with psychiatrist Dr. Alma Moser about her work with “third-culture kids”, or children who are forming their own individual identity, different from that of both their parents and their peers. Dr. Moser discusses common challenges children face when moving and how parents can best support their children through this process. Books referenced: Zurer Pearson, B. (2010).
