Preacher's Kid
Preacher's kid is a term to refer to a child of a preacher, pastor, deacon, vicar, lay leader, priest, minister or other similar church leader. Although the phrase can be used in a purely descriptive way, it may also be used as a stereotype. In some countries, a preacher's kid is referred to as a vicar's son/daughter. Phenomenon Children of clergy often experience pressure due to the expectations placed on them,J. Elizabeth Norrell,Clergy Family Satisfaction," ''Family Science Review'', Vol. 2, No. 4, November, 1989 pp. 337-346. and may develop feelings of isolation and inner conflict as a result. Parental workload (which, by definition, includes working on the weekend) may also be a source of stress. Some writers suggest that there is a "preacher's kid syndrome", in which children of clergy reject religion and the church.

Third Culture Kid
Third culture kids (TCK) or third culture individuals (TCI) are people who were raised in a different culture than their parents, for a large part or the entirety of their childhood and adolescence. They typically are exposed to a greater volume and variety of cultural influences than those who grow up in one particular cultural setting. The term applies to both adults and children, as the term ''kid'' refers to the individual's formative or developmental years. However, for clarification, sometimes the term ''adult third culture kid'' (ATCK) is used. In the expression "third culture kid", the first culture is the culture in which the parents grew up; the second culture refers to the culture in which the family currently resides; and the third culture is the fusion of these, the one to which the child will identify the most. In the early 21st century, the number of Multilingualism, bilingual children in the world was about the same as the number of Monolingualism, monolingual child ...

Missionary Kid
Missionary's kids (or MKs) are the children of missionary parents, and thus born or raised abroad (that is, on the "mission-field"). They form a subset of third culture kids (TCKs). The term is more specifically applied when these children return to their "home" or passport country (the country of their citizenship), and often experience various difficulties identifying with fellow citizens and integrating "back" into their "home" culture. The resulting feeling is described as "reverse culture shock". There is some confusion between the terms MK and TCK. According to the definition developed by Ruth Hill Useem, TCKs are people who have spent a significant part of their developmental years outside their parents' culture. TCK is a broad term that encompasses all children who have grown up abroad (i.e. military kids, diplomats' kids, immigrants). Missionary kids are just one of the many categories of kids who qualify as TCKs. Therefore, while all MKs are TCKs, not all TCKs are MKs. ...
