You lovely ladies have always helped me such much in the past. Most recent thread here:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1560807-AIBU-in-thinking-that-in-trying-to-make-things-better-for-DD-I-have-made-them-worse
I have finally decided that we are going to move. Not just due to the school. Of course, had both DD's been well settled at school then we may consider not moving for a few years. DD1 is ecstatic to be moving! Sadly, things have never really gotten any better for her. Most recently, bully child told her not to stand near her Mum in the mornings, as she was upsetting her. (grrrr....)
As an adult I know that a new start with new children is the best thing for her. She wants to go. She is excited. I am, however, so worried about her setting in. Her confidence is already at an all time low. She thinks she isn't worthy of friendship 
.
DD2 is also happy with the move. She is just 6. I think she is young enough to adapt pretty quickly. I worry about DD1 though (she is 8 - Year 4).
I posted in 'Primary Education' and got no response. What I am asking is - has anyone done this with a DD/DS in Year 4 - how did it go? How can I help DD be more confident. I have images of her running into her new school with a smile on her face and a few children she can call friends. Am I being unrealistic?
Sorry not really an AIBU, but you have all helped so much in the past.
