Hi all, would appreciate your thoughts on the below. It's a long post but please bear with me.
I live in Bangalore, India with my 17-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter; we relocated from Glasgow to India 6 yrs ago. Both kids settled in pretty well. while dad continued to work between the two countries. Now, my son is about to start Uni at Manchester this week.
This has undoubtedly caused a shift in my thinking and I wish to relocate with my daughter to the Greater Manchetsre area so the family can live within the same country and see each other more often.
My question is:
- My daughter is now in 7th grade here in b'lore; how hard is it gonna be for her to integrate into the British society as she will be starting school at a time when perhaps groups are already formed in classes? I intend to send her to private school. Im worried 'cos although her English is very good, the accent is different. Also it's gonna take some time to get to know the culture and the way expressions are used. Any thots on how I can help her deal with this?
Many thanks,
Priya
