The term TCK didn’t seem to fit when kids have multiple ‘home countries and cultures/languages’. This article was interesting and I shared it on a Facebook TCK group to add to the discussion. <br /><br />Cross-cultural/multicultural kid feels more accurate, especially for those who have more than 2 countries.
