Not all stress is bad stress! We actually want to expose young children to positive stress as it helps them learn and feel more confident. As the caregiver, you play an important role in teaching your child how to respond and recover from stressful situations. While toxic stress has lifelong impacts on learning, behavior and physical and mental health, there is hope, as there are things that can help the brain and body to heal. #ACEs #PACEs #Positivechildhoodexperiences #stress #positivestress #toxicstress #childhoodtrauma #healing #childhoodtraumarecovery #parenting #brainscience #earlychildhood #earlychildhooddevelopment

When I was 17, teaching expat kids at the Africa Orientation Course for a year and a half birthed a passion for helping families thrive in cross-cultural settings. 24 of my 42 years have been spent abroad as a third culture kid and raising TCKs of my own. I wrote Raising a Family Overseas after surveying over 100 families living in 40 countries and asking them what works and what doesn’t in global family life. My favorite part? Their kids answered too. If you’re living overseas, are about to, or know someone who does, this book is for you.

Many adverse childhood experiences focus on experiences children have in the household. This can sometimes lead to blame falling on parents, families, or caregivers, but it should not. There are many systemic barriers in place that can influence a child's experiences. Mass incarceration is one example of this. Read through this post to learn more about mass incarceration, its impacts, and how we can help those affected and put an end to mass incarceration. #massincarceration #adversechildhoodexperiences #positivechildhoodexperiences #systemschange #healingsystems

Thank you, MdMaurer, for sharing your thoughts on Raising a Family Overseas in a review on Amazon! 👇Check out the full review below. “Anna has taken the time to survey over a hundred people concerning the topic of living overseas. Some of the people surveyed were parents and others were older children who shared their thoughts and ideas of what has made their experience better. From the survey answers and from her own experience, Anna has written a guide in hopes to help families thrive. I think this quote from the book sums up the theme of the book, ‘Having a successful family experience in a new country is not contingent upon having a positive experience. It is contingent upon family connection, despite how good or bad your experience is’ (p19). And this is exactly what this book offers. It offers ideas to connect with your children, but also conversation starters with other parents and children about family life. As a writer and researcher, I appreciated the following aspects of the book. First, she took the time to survey people, but also a wide variety of people. She had quotes from those in the military, non-profit, typical expat and those in ministry. Anna also, quotes from other resources to prove her points on connecting with children. The division of the book was in three parts (‘before you go’, ‘going’, and ‘once you are there’), which makes it easy to find the section that is needed. I would recommend it to families that are about to move overseas for the first time, but also for those who grew into a family while they were overseas. I received an ARC.” 📚 Get your copy of Raising a Family Overseas today! https://a.co/d/8Li53d0 #raisingafamilyoverseas #expatlife #globalliving #tck #globalfamily #movingabroad #lifeoverseas #traveler #travelingfamily #travelwithkids #annadanforth #travelblogger #travelbook #parentingbook #traveltips #expat #globalnomads #expatfamily #internationalliving #expatmom #expatbookclub #internationalschool #travelblogger #traveltips #travelbook #matthew28 #bookreview #positivechildhoodexperiences

Being a mom requires patience, sacrifice, and time. When children feel that they matter, that they are loved, that they are worthy, and they thrive. Engage them in activities of interest, build them up by pointing out their strengths, and model self-care. Our children may never comment on many of the things we do, but they are watching! Take time for yourself, set limits, and remember to have fun! The byproduct is a life of joy and peace for mom. Wouldn’t you say it’s worth the sacrifice? #pastatower #pastatowerchallenge #scienceolympiad #lifecoachformoms #forthechildren #familylife #weekendvibes #christianlifecoach #PCE #PositiveChildhoodExperiences Woman's World Woman's Day Magazine Tamron Hall Show

How To Nurture a Child’s Mental Health As Parents, we feel the responsibility every day of tending to all the needs of our children. What we know now is that our words and actions can have a lasting impact on our children. If we do not pause to reflect on our parenting, we may be missing the potential for opportunities to have a positive impact on their mental health and wellbeing. “When a child is looked upon with critical eyes, they carry that shame with them throughout their life.” - Crystal Hardstaff Think about the ways we speak to and treat our children like the intricate weaving of tapestry - it can be full and strong, or it can be weak and fall apart. As parents and caregivers, it’s important to recognise and understand that we have profound influence on our children. The perspectives and attitudes we hold are shaping our child’s self-esteem and emotional resilience.

🌟Promoting the Positive 🌟 For many years, research focused on the negative impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) like health issues far down the line. However, science shows us that there is transformative power in Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs)! PCEs, which vary from things like connecting with safe adults to pursuing a child’s interests, are key in child well-being. It’s time to not just prevent harm, but actively build brighter futures.

👋 Welcome to Raising a Family Overseas! I’m Anna and my life’s passion is to help parents and kids thrive as they navigate international living. I’m American but I have spent most of my childhood and adult life living abroad, mostly in Africa. My husband also grew up in a globally mobile home and we turned around and raised our own kids overseas. I’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t with global living and if you’re here, you’re probably asking the same questions I have. Join me in this space to learn the practical ins and outs of building strong connections with your family and your host culture in a new environment.
