Early on, TCKs were identified as the prototype 'citizen of the future.' That time is now, as more and more children are growing up among worlds, creating a culturally rich and diverse world. This expanded edition profiles the personal challenges that third culture kids experience, from feelings of rootlessness and unresolved grief to struggles with maturity and identity. It also profiles the benefits of the unique third culture lifestyle, producing extraordinary people with well-rounded skill sets. Highlighting dramatic changes brought about by instant communication and new mobility patterns, the new edition shows how the TCK experience is becoming increasingly common and valuable. The authors also introduces 'CCKs' cross-cultural kids, children of biracial or bicultural parents, immigrants and international adoptees--all of this bringing hidden diversity to our world and challenging our old notions of identity and 'home'."--Publisher's description. 0aChild. 0aSocial interaction in childrenzForeign countries. 0aSocial skills in childrenzForeign countries. 0aChildrenxTravelzForeign countries. 0aChildrenzForeign countriesxAttitudes. 0aIntercultural communicationzForeign countries. 0aParentsxEmploymentzForeign countries. 0aThird-culture children. 4aInteracción social en niños. 4aHabilidades sociales en el niño.1 aVan Reken, Ruth E.,d1945-423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1101/2009024639-b.html
