Moving
laandra January 15, 2013
So me and my daughter had to move in with my parents a year in a half ago. I'm now ready to move but its int March which is very close to the end of the school year. I don't know if I should let her stay with my parents or have her go to a new school? I'm hoping to put her back in the same school before we moved into my parents but really feel bad moving her so close to the end of the year. Is there any good time to change your child's school when it's for a life change?

Hi laandra,
Have you asked her what she'd like to do?
While you would be moving her near the end of the year, you'd help her to establish new friendships before the long summer, when it can be harder to find friends. And if you are moving back where you came from, you'll be helping her reestablish her friendships.

Good luck and let us know what happens.82122
