After 11 years living away from the mainland US, our family moved back to the US for a year a couple of years ago.
Most people expect going abroad to be hard, but they don’t expect returning home to be as challenging. And, they particularly underestimate the challenge kids will have; kids often struggle more than adults to re-patriate.
One study found that 87% of repatriated kids felt different from their American peers. And, though they did eventually feel more comfortable, most never felt fully integrated. As well-meaning parents we do our best, but there are eight common parenting mistakes that make repatriation harder for kids. We'll cover these on the podcast.
It was challenging moving back to the US in some ways. However, knowing what to expect helped a lot and having the tools to navigate it made it a much better experience.
