4. Early autonomy. In many ways, many TCKs have an earlier sense of autonomy than peers at home. By their early teenage years, TCKs literally know how to get around in the world and enjoy functioning in quite diverse ways and places. This may be the result of traveling alone to boarding school or having the opportunity as young children to explore their surroundings freely by trikes, bikes, and hikes. A reliable, safe public transportation system in some countries adds to that sense of autonomy. Many TCKs in Japan take the train to school for two hours each way, every day, in early elementary grades. When one TCK lived in Australia, he took a ferry and bus by himself to school every day at age eleven, while his friends back in the United States waited at the corner of their street for the school bus to pick them up.
