Hi we are hopefully relocating from London to Worcs over the summer holidays.
DC are 5 and 3.
DD 5 is in reception.
Am fretting and over analysing when and how to tell her about the move.
We have held back as things were very uncertain and she has been very vocal about never wanting to move ( like Topsy and Tim did recently!)
Rationally I know she will be fine as there are many positives (bribes!) but she loves her bedroom and is a stubborn sort who may well be very unimpressed at first.
Can anyone give me a voice of experience as to how to do it - we plan to take her to visit the new school and house in a couple of weeks ... But do we need to give her some time to get used the idea or is it just as well to maintain normality for her as long as possible. She will of course have the summer holidays to get used to the idea of a new school.
Argh am rambling but really need a firm plan and keep dithering .. Also she would go and meet her new teacher for Yr1 next week - is it really unfair to let her do that when its 90% likely we will have moved?
Any ideas most welcome !
