Praat Nederlands met me! - S02 / E02

The hidden heartache of moving abroad with children

The guilt that expat parents know all too well

You’ve packed up your whole life, maybe traveled halfway across the world, and settled into this new country, the Netherlands.

There’s excitement, for sure—this is an opportunity for your family, a chance for growth. But right behind that excitement, there’s this little voice. A little voice of doubt, of worry that sounds a bit like this:

“What if my child doesn’t like the Netherlands? What if this change is just too big for them?”

And if you’ve felt that guilt yourself, you’re not alone.

For those of us here in the Netherlands, there’s an extra layer to this experience: the Dutch language. If you’re like most expat parents, you might not be fluent in Dutch, so you can’t always help your child with their language struggles. And that’s tough.

Listen to this podcast about the heartaches and the game-changer for your child.
