Are you and your TCKs’ travel plans thwarted this year? If you’re far away from family and feeling more stuck than ever, take the opportunity to travel in your minds and learn about holiday celebrations all around the world, like these highlighted by National Geographic Kids. 

The 2 Fat Expats Facebook Group is a  global community of 24,000 that’s “all about support, encouragement and giggles with a bit of expat reality thrown in.” Join for an opportunity to chat with and hear from others who understand the homesick-for-the-holiday feels. 

No matter where you are in the world the end of November brings twinkle lights...and usually family time. The holidays may look very different for you this year. With that in mind and with the help and hard work of the Alliance, we bring to you a different kind of advent calendar, the TCK Holiday Countdown!

TCK expert Lauren Wells says, "Regular debriefing is one of the most effective elements of preventive TCK care.” This is such a fun way to debrief the year with your TCKs or pass along to any families in your care. The Holiday Countdown includes 24 days of videos to watch and discuss, weekend activities and a color-along countdown page for the littlest hands.
 

Happy December and Happy Debriefing!
