Synopsis

The process of international relocation can be an exciting, empowering, and fascinating life experience. Or, it can be an emotionally volatile situation for family members that may adversely impact personal wellbeing, marital relationships, and/or children's behavioral and school adjustment.
In Resilience and the Internationally Mobile Family, authors Dr. William G. Nicoll and Dr. Peggy Pelonis assist international families, as well as international school educators and employers, in better understanding the internationally mobile family experience.
The resilience building model outlined in this book enables parents, youth, schools, and employers to better understand the process of change. It provides practical skills and strategies for successfully navigating the international transition process and realizing a positive, life-changing, and life-enriching experience.

In a world where more and more families are moving globally, William G. Nicoll and Peggy Pelonis join theory and practice as they discuss the paradoxical dynamics of these changes. After explaining how different stages of transition frequently present, they offer concrete strategies for how parents and educators can help build resilience during these times. A timely book!
