Hello everyone!
I am planning to move to Dominican Republic over the summer, My family and I grew up on this beautiful island up until my early thirties .. I then got a job offer in the States and have stayed there ever since. I have a young 13-year-old boy now who you could say is VERY westernized -nothing wrong with that- he just grew up very differently than myself and doesn't realize the value in simple things. I am worried he will not adapt very well as he is in his "attitude" years and does not like the idea of moving at all... especially to a different country.
Are there any other western families who have moved with teens to the island? if so, what were your experiences?
How did you transition (school, activities, friends)??
Any expat neighborhoods you would recommend with kids?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
