• Adapting to New Cultures and Languages: Landry discusses how children adapt faster than adults when moving to new environments and the importance of extracurricular activities in bridging cultural gaps.

• Reintegration Challenges: Moving between private international and public school systems comes with its hurdles, and Landry shares tips for smooth transitions.

He stresses the importance of implementing lessons from different perspectives and making them part of your journey.
• The Importance of Being Present: Instead of overthinking future challenges, Landry advises families to focus on integrating and thriving in the present.

"Home is where you are currently. Make sure you’re fully integrated and living in the moment instead of worrying too much about what’s next."
