Conversation Cards for moving families

by Laura Kent-Davidson at Wings & Wonder Kids

Summary:

This resource is a set of 14 cards to help start conversations for families planning an upcoming move. Each card is focused on one aspect of transitions. The card explains why this aspect is essential and then offers questions that families can discuss. Laura also offers other ways besides talking to help your third culture kids transition to the new place.

Recommendation:

While these cards are meant for a family preparing to move, I think they would also benefit families who are the Stayers. Many cards deal with the same issues that those who Stay deal with. I feel a parent could also adapt the wording to help children in that kind of transition. The quality of the cards is durable and comes in a nice box that makes it easy and light to pack and take with you. The other positive aspect of these cards is that families only need one set per family, which can be reused repeatedly.
