Transfering to new school

babyreb by babyreb Walking(April 2007) (rank 500+)

Transfering to new school may be hard but be there and help understanding and alot of courages is easier. My daughter and I had moved from the city to near the beach last year and it was close to christmas so she continued to finish school year 1 last year at the old school in the city until I transfered her to a new school at the start of this year. She is now year 2, at the beginning she didn't like the new teachers and she cried and wanted to go back to old school because she missed her new friends. I explain that she can still see her friends from the old school by having them sleep over once a month and she can still make more new friend at her new school. And talking to teachers about her educations and whats best for her had helped her alot. Now she is much happier being at the new school because she made more new friends yet still seeing her best friends from the old school and she likes her new teachers as she said that they are funny teachers. Last week I went for parent/teacher interview about my daughter's education and how she goes, she is the top in the class and she improved alot more than what I thought she had and I am very proud of her, my daughter's english had improved very well and reading alot of children books. She takes a book home everyday to read. So transfering to new school has helped her alot and she has now love to making new friends (almost most of the whole class she is in). So mothers who's transfering children to new school, don't stress give alot of courages and get them to write to friends if living so far away and if not living far have their friend sleep over once a month, your children will be happier.

Mine had to move schools and adjusted very well
Just keep things positive and start well, get them to invite their friends over so they get to know them quicker, chat to other Mums and encourage your child to be themselves and they will soon make friends with like minded children

Thank you, it took me a while to start talking to my daughter's new friends' parents because i'm hearing impaired so now we're chatting about our children. More easier my child had a birthday party couple weeks ago and she invited some of her new friends. At first I was a bit worried what if they don't show up (because her birthday was on the same day cyclone larry hit innisfail, 20th and no one came bad timing though) but eventually both parents and children came to the party and we all had a great time, mainly my daughter had much more fun because she had both old and new friends there. xxx
