OverviewRepatriation is the neglected sibling of the living-and-studying-abroad experience. Families, employers, relatives and friends assume that going home is about picking up where you left off prior to moving. However, this way of thinking totally ignores the effects of the passage of time and the impact of change. You and your family have been irrevocably changed by the experience of living abroad. Re-entry stress or reverse culture shock occurs when what is anticipated as known or given is experienced as new and incomprehensible - when expectations don't match reality. Reading this book will: ? Raise your awareness about the issues connected to the process of adjustment and adaptation involved in 'going home.' ? Help you to understand how your children have been changed by the experience of living abroad and the impact this has on the educational choices you make on their behalf. ? Provide you with tools to help you think through, plan for and live through the transition of repatriation.
