Little HUMANS ABROAD
FOR FAMILIES RAISING CHILDREN ABROAD
Gentle, practical tools for the emotional side of relocation. Created by specialist in children’s wellbeing through major change
Welcome to Little Humans Abroad.
Moving abroad can be one of the most exciting things a family does. New places, new experiences, new beginnings. But for children, it often brings something quieter, too feelings of loss, homesickness, and questions about identity and belonging, even when the move is a positive one.
While parents are focused on visas, housing, schools, and logistics, children are often quietly adjusting to new friendships, new languages, new routines, and entirely new ways of life. These shifts can be hard to put into words, and even harder for a parent to notice from the outside.
Little Humans Abroad offers gentle, practical, research-informed support for expat families navigating these transitions: international moves, school changes, and life between cultures.
Our mission is simple: to help parents understand what their child may be experiencing, and give them the tools to support them through it.
Because children don't need a perfect transition. They need to feel understood, and to know they don't have to navigate change alone.

Starting a New School Abroad
School starts again soon. Is your child ready for the part that has nothing to do with school supplies?
In just a few weeks, expat children everywhere will walk into a classroom where they don't know anyone, don't yet understand the rules, and aren't sure where they belong.
Maybe that's your child.
While parents are busy with uniforms, transport, and paperwork, children are quietly carrying something bigger: a new language, a lunch table they don't know if they're allowed to sit at, friendships they left behind and haven't yet replaced.
It rarely looks like what we expect. It looks like sudden tears after a "good" day. A confident child who suddenly seems unsure of themselves. "I want to go home" even when home is exciting.
None of this means something is wrong. It means your child is adjusting, and adjustment needs support.
Starting a New School Abroad walks you through exactly what to expect in the first weeks and months, and exactly how to help your child feel safe while they find their place.

— ABOUT ME
I understand this from the inside out
I am both an expat parent and a professional with years of experience in special education, psychology, and supporting children through vulnerable transitions.
I know that moving abroad with children is not just a practical challenge, it is an emotional journey for the whole family. Many children adapt on the outside while still quietly processing enormous change on the inside

My resources and 1:1 sessions are built to give you the concrete tools to support your child and yourself — in the right way.
A Third Culture Kid (TCK) is a child who spends a significant part of their developmental years outside their parents' home culture.
These children often grow up between countries, languages, and cultures, developing a unique global perspective along the way.
While international experiences can offer incredible opportunities, they can also bring challenges. Many Third Culture Kids navigate frequent transitions, changing schools, saying goodbye to friends, adapting to new environments, and questions about identity and belonging.
As a result, TCKs often develop strengths such as adaptability, resilience, cultural awareness, and empathy. At the same time, they may need additional support as they process change, loss, and the experience of growing up between cultures.
At Little Humans Abroad, we are passionate about helping families better understand the unique experiences of Third Culture Kids and supporting children as they build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging wherever they are in the world.

Why I Created Little Humans Abroad
-
![]()
1. When my family moved abroad to Málaga, Spain, I thought I was prepared. I wasn't. Language barriers, cultural differences, and a quiet feeling of not quite belonging hit us harder than I expected.
-
![]()
2. When we moved on to Bangkok, things got easier on the surface. But the questions didn't go away. I looked for support to help my child through the big emotional transitions — and found almost nothing built specifically for expat children.

3. As a professional, I've seen up close how deeply instability, loss, and disrupted routines can affect a child — often in ways that are invisible from the outside. With a background in special education and a bachelor's degree in psychology, I knew I could help close that gap.

4. That's how Little Humans Abroad was born. A place where expat families like yours can find gentle, practical, research-informed support — because children don't need perfect transitions. They need to feel understood.
COMING SOON
The Victor Series is a collection of gentle, reassuring picture books created especially for young children navigating life abroad.
Through Victor's adventures, children experience some of the biggest transitions of early childhood, from moving to a new country and leaving familiar places behind, to starting a new school, making new friends, and building a sense of belonging in a new environment.
Each story is designed to help children understand and process the emotions that often come with major life changes. By seeing their own experiences reflected in Victor's journey, children learn that feelings such as excitement, worry, sadness, uncertainty, and curiosity are all a normal part of change.
The series supports the development of emotional resilience, confidence, adaptability, and social-emotional skills. It provides parents with a gentle way to start meaningful conversations about transitions and helps children build the emotional tools they need to feel safe and secure during times of change.
Written for children aged 2–4, the Victor Series offers comfort, connection, and reassurance, reminding young readers that while countries, homes, and schools may change, they are never alone, and that home is ultimately found in the people who love them.
