What a great word. I also think this is a fascinating topic (obviously) but I can only speculate. Fun to think about though and definitely makes for a great convo and blog topic :-) #ExpatLifeLinky

There are so many external influences coming together – but does school influence a personality. I can’t see how it can’t given that there are expectations on children to behave a certain way – and have to fit in I guess to a certain extent. Interesting – you have given me fodder for a blog article for Happy Sensitive Kids for sure!!

Thanks for linking up #ExpatLifeLinky

Thank you for telling me about the book!

I reckon your two daughters would find it fascinating.

I love their Britishness but part of me longs for them to be more ‘Americanized’ LOL. #ExpatLifeLinky

Parents often forget how much of the day children spend in school and with other children and the influences that come with that… My husband is english but brought up in Kenya and has never really fitted into british life. The swap sounds interesting too, thanks for sharing #expatlifelinky
