[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it really depends on the kid. Living abroad now (moved with younger kids so the adjustment was super easy for them). All around fabulous, the conflict comes with trying to figure out where and when next. Timing a return, or deciding on a return at all is complicated as they begin to get older and not something I really thought about when we moved.[/quote] This PP is spot on. Moving abroad can be exciting and it works for many families, but some kids have a really hard time adjusting - I have a kid in a similar situation. They miss their friends and their previous life and have a very hard time finding joy and purpose in the move. As other pps mentioned: International school available? This is going to be crucial unless your kid speaks German. And as this pp mentioned: what’s your plan long-term? That can be more complicated than you anticipate: stay or leave, find a right moment to leave, etc.[/quote]
