Being a parent isn't always that easy, especially when you live abroad. Couples that move to foreign countries are very doubtful about the environment in which they will have to raise their kids. Many parents worry about differences in standards and values, social services, social associations and schools. Expats who are planning on coming back to their country of origin and those who still are in close touch with family and friends back home are the ones who worry the most.
School quality abroad is their biggest concern. Sometimes their children intend to go to university or college in their mother country. It’s important that the received the education that is required to qualify for higher education.
Age is a very critical aspect as well. Kids younger than 10 years adapt easily to new environments. But it's a lot harder for those who are older than 12 years.
Most of the expat’s children become an expat themselves when they are older.
