Parenting Expat Kids 101:  
Foundations for Healthy Global Kids

Starting a family abroad - or moving overseas with young children for the first time - can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you're preparing to go or already navigating life in a new culture with little ones, this course offers the essential foundation for raising healthy Third Culture Kids (TCKs) from the very beginning.

In this self-paced workshop, we’ll explore:

  • What makes a child a TCK, and why that matters from the earliest years

  • How mobility, transition, and cross-cultural dynamics impact development

  • Practical tools for creating security and consistency even in changing environments

  • Strategies for nurturing emotional wellbeing, identity, and attachment

  • What you can do now to build a foundation for long-term thriving


Your course also includes a one-hour coaching call with a TCK specialist, giving you the chance to ask questions, explore your family’s specific context, and receive personalized support for your journey.

Whether your child is just born or toddling toward their next passport stamp, this course will equip you to parent with confidence, clarity, and care in your globally mobile life.
