[quote=Anonymous]We moved overseas when my kids were 5, 3, and 6 months. It was so stressful as we prepared, but the move itself was pretty easy. I will say it was hardest on the 3 year old, because my daughter oldest went straight into bilingual kindergarten. My 3 year old had to do his schooling in French, and it was a much tougher transition than I had expected (mostly because the culture was not welcoming to foreigners at all). We had to work very hard to support him by organizing playdates with kids in his class, which helped a ton. He was over the initial difficulties within a few months, and the entire experience became a wonderful memory. We moved back home after 4 years, and they all still talk about going back (though I'm sure their memories are rooted in our conversations and photos as much as anything else).[/quote]
