    Chapter 5 - Conversation

    Thank you for clicking on this episode of the Pondering Purple podcast, a source of information, insight, and inspiration for those who love MKs and those who are MKs. ··· In this conversation, you'll meet Elisabeth, mom of MKs, creator of MK resources, and deep well of wisdom. We discuss topics related to Chapter Five of Pieces of Purple, which explores the "flipsides" of the TCK experience—how the great and the hard live side by side in our lives—and how parents of young MKs (from toddlers to middle school) can help them to walk through the big emotions involved. We address questions like: • How can we create a safe environment for MKs to express their feelings? • How do parents respond helpfully to grief-fueled meltdowns? • What is the impact of "time in" vs. "time out"? And so much more... If you'd like to contact Elisabeth to learn more about her resources, this is her email - ejochum@tckteam.com.

No newsy epistles or cat pictures!) ··· Please share this resource in your missionary, MK, and TCK circles. I'd love it if you also left a comment on whatever platform you use, so Pondering Purple can be less of a monologue and more of a conversation. ··· The title of the podcast is a nod to the complex, beautiful, sometimes confounding, always life-shaping and ideally life-enhancing effects of growing up in the color swirl of cultures and worlds. ··· Helpful definitions: · MK or Missionaries' Kid - the child of missionaries. · TCK or Third Culture Kid - someone who has spent a majority of his/her formative years in a culture other than his/her passport culture. This includes missionaries' kids, military kids, business kids, diplomats' kids, etc.
