Robin Pascoe - How resilient are children who are relocated abroad?

www.expatexpert.com This is the tenth piece in an 18-part on-line global lecture series 'Successful Living Abroad' based on the expatriate family book series by author Robin Pascoe. Each short segment (one hour in total if watched all at once) addresses the themes of global mobility examined in Pascoe's books: challenges for the accompanying expat spouse; raising children abroad; relocating a relationship; and finally, coming home again (repatriation.)
In this segment, Pascoe draws on her expat parenting book "Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World" to point out that children are most resilient when parents make themselves more available—not less—after a relocation. In particular, she stresses that children are silent partners in relocation and rarely given any choice about an international move.
