One of our main focuses are expat children who move with their parents to Spain.

Moving to another country can be a lot of fun, however there are also potential obstacles. One of them is so called ‘Expat Child Syndrome’ (ECS). For some children it could be more difficult to fit into life in a new country and they may develop psychological issues over time.

Typical Expat Child Syndrome symptoms include:

• Seclusion
• Loneliness
• Withdrawn behavior
• Disruptive behaviour
• Lack of progress in school

There are certain tricks to help your child integrate into a new environment and help avoid ECS:

Encourage them to be a part of the process - don’t exclude them. Depending on their age and skills children can help with packing the boxes, filling out school applications, doing some research into the new place etc. Discuss this with them as part of a team.

Once you have arrived, language is the main hurdle to overcome. Most language schools offer special language classes or personal tuition. Language needs to be practised – enrol your children into local classes and clubs. The Costa del Sol has lots of sports clubs such as football, rugby, karate, horse riding, polo, swimming aswell as many more. If your child still has problems adjusting to their new environment we are able to help you both communicate with the school and to find a solution.
