December at Nido is full of excitement for the upcoming holidays. It is also a time of sadness as several of our friends prepare to embark on new adventures. For several of our international families, December marks a time of great transition.
The transition experience is a part of the life-cycle of the international family. This experience is marked with busy preparation, excitement, nervousness and a sense of loss. Family communication is vital to managing this transition.
