For military children raised overseas, home is hard to explain
Original: For military children who grew up overseas, home can be hard to explain
Military children who spent their formative years on bases overseas often struggle to answer a simple question: where is home? Many grew up moving between countries, forming attachments to places they can no longer return to, and feeling distant from peers who never left the United States. The experience of so-called third culture kids is drawing attention as families and educators discuss the lasting identity questions these upbringings create.
Why now: It resonates with military families and adult 'brats' who share the dislocating experience of growing up abroad.
