[quote=Anonymous]Foreign service brat here. Lived overseas from birth to college. I think it's easier on the child the younger they are. Adapting to foreign cultures/languages is easy for young kids, especially if their parents have a positive attitude about the country they're guests in. It's the re-entry back into US culture that can be difficult as the child may come back with an accent and different cultural referents. In my case, I feel these experiences enhanced my life but I also have identity issues to this day and don't feel like I have a home anywhere. But that's based on moving every 3 years. Your experience will be different as you will be in one country only. It will feel like a wonderful adventure. [/quote]
