After a horrible year for my oldest DD in Year 3 and a very bad start to Year 4 (bullying, exclusion, no friends, school taking a long time to deal with it), I have finally made the decision to move her. This will mean moving DD2 also. She is 6.
I know this is the right decision, but I can't help being hesitant.
Has anyone any experience or words of wisdom to share if they have been in a similar situation. I feel that DD2 will fit in well and 6 is young enough to adapt. I worry about DD1 though. Her confidence is already low. I want her to run into her new school and make friends and be happy! I worry though that 8 is a difficult age to make new friends and break into already formed friendship groups?
I have posted in AIBU before about DD1 and had some great advice.
