#204 Raising Third Culture Kids—Expat life across five continents, with Carol Schoch


Listen Later

As an expat mama of three small children, I've asked myself a time or two whether or not my choice to raise my girls abroad, as international citizens, is a wise one. I've pondered what intended and unintended consequences might be. I've watched older children of family friends go off to college back 'home' after years abroad. Some adjust well. Some struggle. Some fail. Most can't quite put their finger to a map on a physical place called home. And I've worried how my children will fit into a world that's so large and yet so small. It turns out, I'm not the only expat parent to question their decision to bring their kids abroad at some point. So, I chatted with long-time expat, Carol Schoch, who raised her three daughters across five continents. Tune in to hear their struggles, victories, and strategies for raising children as little expats themselves. // Connect with Carol on wechat by searching cmschoch. // A special thanks to this episode's sponsor, Concordia International School Shanghai.
