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
