While not really identifying with one culture, can make it difficult to feel like you belong anywhere there are benefits to being a third culture kids. For example, research finds that they are generally more tolerant of different cultures and of people of different backgrounds than individuals who do not share this culturally diverse background. Third Culture kids also find it easier to adapt to new cultures and understand how to behave appropriately in these new environments.
