In our latest article, Diary of a Third Culture Kid, Ruby Farley shares her heartfelt journey growing up in the U.S., Korea, China, and Taiwan — and the bittersweet feelings of leaving for college. Her story captures the unique challenges and beauty of navigating multiple cultures while searching for a sense of belonging.

“Third Culture” refers to a person shaped by their parents’ culture, the cultures of the places they’ve lived, and the blend that emerges between them. Third culture individuals are an important part of Taiwan’s international community, challenging simple definitions of what it means to be “local” or “foreign” and revealing the many ways identity can transcend borders.

🤔Have you ever wondered: “How can I respond to my child’s emotions with empathy and understanding?” or “How can I create high-quality playtime with my child?” 🤔

The Center’s Child-Parent-Relationship Training (C-P-R Training) is a 10-week, 2-hours-per-week parenting workshop designed for parents of children aged 3 to 8. This program helps parents better understand their child’s inner world through playtime, and enables them to create meaningful moments together.

At the Center, we value your opinion! To help us finalize the program schedule and create the most helpful program for our parent community, we would sincerely appreciate it if you could take 2–3 minutes to complete this short survey.
Thank you for taking a few moments to share your feedback with us! ❤️

If this is your first summer in Taiwan, you’ll soon hear plenty about typhoons and might wonder: Should I be worried?

✅ In big-city Taipei, most storms pass with minimal impact thanks to solid infrastructure (and countless convenience stores!). But don’t let that lull you into ignoring typhoon prep. High winds, heavy rains, flash floods, and power outages can quickly disrupt daily life especially near mountainsides, rivers, or in older buildings.

Our latest article “Are You Ready for Typhoon Season?” breaks down everything you need to know:

🗺️ Must-have apps and websites in English for real-time typhoon updates and closure notices
🎒 A practical typhoon emergency supply checklist tailored for life in Taiwan
🏠 How to secure your home, inside and out, before a storm hits
📅 A simple timeline for prepping in the days leading up to a typhoon
🚫 Safety rules for riding out the storm and avoiding hazards afterward

👟 Your 6-year-old refuses to put on their shoes. You’re late. You threaten no screen time, and suddenly you’re locked in a battle of wills.

But what if, instead, you calmly said: “I know you’re upset about not wearing your favorite shoes. You can choose sneakers or sandals. Which do you prefer?”

✨ Just like that, the power struggle fades and you’re out the door, drama-free.

In her insightful article “Giving Kids a Say: The Power of Choices in Parenting,” Counseling Psychologist Dr. Ru-Chi Yang 楊如琪 explores how offering age-appropriate choices helps children:

✅ Feel empowered and respected
✅ Build decision-making and problem-solving skills
✅ Reduce power struggles at home
✅ Strengthen their bond with parents and caregivers

From toddlers choosing snacks to teens deciding how to spend downtime, Dr. Yang shares practical tips for using choices to guide kids while keeping boundaries clear and relationships strong.

💡 Discover how giving kids a say can transform everyday battles into moments of connection and growth.

The 2025 Urban Resilience (Air Defense) Exercise will take place in Taipei City on Thursday, July 17, from 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM.

The exercise will include air raid warning transmission and issuance, evacuation and sheltering procedures, traffic control, and other necessary measures. When the air-defense alarm sounds, or when mobile phone warning messages are received, everyone should follow instructions from police and civil defense personnel and move to nearby shelters.

To help both local residents and foreign nationals clearly understand the details of the Urban Resilience (Air Defense) Exercise, the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency, Ministry of National Defense, has produced the “2025 Urban Resilience (Air Defense) Exercise Multilingual Public Information Materials” in English, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Thai. These materials are available for widespread use and public dissemination.
