Moving internationally with kids, especially Third Culture Kids, is rather different from setting up shop overseas by yourself.
In this 15 minute interview, my fabulous colleague at Clarity Brunei, Rubina Anis, MA, shares insights and tips on moving with children.
Rubina is an internationally trained psychologist, specialised in autism. She is a school counsellor at the Jerudong International School in Brunei and a mum of two teens. She lived with her family in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, The Netherlands and now Brunei, and is gearing up for her next international transition.
In the interview, she shared her perspectives on common struggles for kids, such as grief, validating feelings and goodbyes.
