How do we develop our identity when growing among so many worlds?There is no single answer, just like there is no single, cookie-cutter, cross-cultural childhood. But for those of us who grew up between cultures, we share certain feelings, experiences, and ways of viewing the world. By examining these commonalities and how our cross-cultural upbringing shaped us, we deepen our understanding of ourselves and those around us. We can make sense of our own story.We are Third Culture Kids (TCKs), kids who temporarily lived outside at least one of our parent's home cultures. In this 4th edition of the ground-breaking, global classic on TCKs, Ruth E. Van Reken, Cynthia Green, and Michael V. Pollock expand the multi-layered TCK story and position TCKs in a wider group of those impacted by a vast array of cross-cultural childhoods. This significantly updated resource includes more international stories than ever and features new discussions on identity formation, belonging, loss & grief, resilience, and the value inherent in cross-cultural childhoods.Reading this book is a step towards self-discovery. Once you know how growing up among worlds adds value to your life and how to successfully navigate common challenges, the future is full of possibilities.
