| Abstract: | In an increasingly globalized world this paper aims to uncover how Third Culture Kids experience the reintegration process back into their home country. In this qualitative study four Third Culture Kids were interviewed about their experiences with moving back to their home country. Findings show that Communication, cultural competence, social norms, sense of home and identity were the main themes that were uncovered which outline the main incidents when reintegrating. Furthermore, lacking cultural context and exposure is revealed which may help explain how parents could play a pivotal role in bridging the gap in challenges TCKs face when reintegrating into their society. |
