TCK

TCK, or Third Culture Kid, refers to individuals who spend a significant part of their formative years living outside their parents' culture, often in different countries. As a result, they develop a unique "third culture" that blends elements of their original culture with those of the new environments. This experience can influence their identity, worldview, and social skills, often making them adaptable and open-minded. TCKs might feel connected to multiple cultures but also sometimes experience a sense of in-betweenness or uncertainty about where they truly belong.
