“Third Culture Kid" (shortened to“TCK") was made up in the 1960s by doctors Ruth and John Useem. They used it to talk about the experience of immigrant (移民) children growing up between two cultures: the culture of their parents, and the culture of the place they are living in.
Today, TCK also refers to children who have traveled a lot and who are culturally mixed.These are children who are familiar with many cultures, but not as familiar with their parents'.
