Are you moving abroad? Perhaps you
are already living in a new country!! Guess What? You are
not alone. This book, The Kids Guide to Living Abroad, was
written just for you and the thousands of other kids growing
up beyond the borders of their passport countries.
The Kids Guide travels along on your journey overseas to
help prepare you for the thrills and challenges of each
stage of becoming globally mobile. The guidebook is told
through the eyes of real children who have experience living
in other countries. They share our excitement and fears when
you learn you are going overseas, help you understand and
cope with the harsh realities of homesickness and culture
shock, and let you know what to expect on re-entry to your
home country. The children also offer advice and tips about
these real life experiences. Most importantly, you will
develop the tools to make the most of your adventure.

An anthology of writings by parents and children, educators,
researchers and mental health professionals about the effects
of international mobility on families. The text deals with
parenting in new cultures, international education, a sense
of roots, the impact of organizational affiliation, the difficulties
of returning home after an extended period overseas, the role
of parents, and the ups and downs of moving from the child's
perspective.

From the Author, Sara M. Taber.
My aim in creating this journal for mobile young and not-so-young
people has been to provide people raised as I was, in several
countries, with an opportunity to gather together into one
place the many aspects of themselves. I want to offer them
a chance to assemble the places they have lived, the many
odd life experiences they have had, and the personal tastes
and perspectives they have developed and to see them united
as a whole. At best, my hope is that the journal will help
a person raised on the wing to put together his or her personal
story, to record, in written form, perhaps in fragments, who
he or she is.
I envision the journal as a learning and self-exploration
tool that validates both the particulars of each individual's
experience. It can be difficult, as I know first hand, for
the country-hopping child to place or even assemble all the
stray elements of an exciting but challenging lifestyle. My
goal in preparing this journal has been to aid these people
"of many lands" in the long process of putting together
the stories of their lives. Even if they never write a sentence
in the book, they may, just by reading through the journal,
glean a helpful memory or thought. A reader may regard the
journal as an invitation: an invitation to set down the story
of his or her own unique life.

Today There Tomorrow is a workbook compiled of 24 successful
training exercises on working on transition issues with mobile
teens. Discussing topics on managing transitions, personal
development and perspectives on culture, these complete lesson
plans help teenagers adjust to new environments. It is designed
to provide an environment where the value of living overseas
is affirmed and to integrate various international experiences.
This book is a forerunner in the provision of techniques and
tools to educate internationally mobile youth.
The goal of this manual is to offer exercises to provoke
thought, encourage communication and build skills that encourage
resilience. The emotional and social needs of internationally
mobile teens, adjusting to new environments, can be met by
providing an opportunity for them to interact through the
activities in this publication. A second goal is to help develop
healthy, strong relationships. Internationally mobile youth
not only face the typical turmoil that adolescents go through,
yet also challenges of relocation and cross-cultural issues.
During difficult periods of transition, teens often feel alienated
and isolated. It is important for them to find commonalities
with each other.
