Hello we’re back with Episode 3, Season 3 of Two Fat Expats, where we believe you should live your expat life to the fullest. Fill it up and make the most of it. This week we discuss social media and the expat child. Kirsty interviewed Martine Oglethorpe from The Modern Parent about kids online and what we need to know and watch for. Nikki and Kirsty share some of their experiences with their own kids online worlds.

A reminder that this month we’re reading Diplomatic Incidents: The Memoirs of an (Un)diplomatic Wife by Cherry Denman. You can click the link to grab a copy. Don’t worry if you haven’t started, there is still time to catch up.

We’d also love it if you left us a message. Can you see the prompt just to the right of the page? We’d love to hear from you. This week we were thrilled to have messages from Emily in London and Wendy in the US.

Here’s the links to the social media discussed in this episode:
