Peers, parents and professionals offer support, advice and solutions in response to expat life challenges as shared by expat teens
by Lisa Pittman and Diana Smit Peers
This book is specifically targeted to expatriate teenagers and those who work with this unique population. It addresses the needs and different challenges that expat teens face throughout their lives (in particular, their adolescent years), and enables them to learn more about and understand that most of what they are going through and what they feel as a result of constant change in their lives is 'normal' and shared by many other expat teens worldwide. Expat teens, worldwide, shared with us their stories, questions, challenges, fears, and experiences. In return for their submissions, we provided them with support, advice, and solutions from the perspective of their fellow Expat Peers, as well as the perspective of other expat parents and expat professionals, as these are the three groups that expat teenagers most want to hear from. It is meant to be a 'dip in, dip out' book, as opposed to feeling like it has to be read from cover to cover. We hope to provide the tools and information that expat teens can use to empower themselves and their peers, worldwide.
