Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments how to tell kids going to new school

I'm starting to get excited about the new GT school we are moving to. I feel more connected to the parents.

I volunteered to clean one day. I was surprized my son took the choice to go visit too. WOW did that feel good to me! He was a little shy but did fine.

DD7 is getting upset about the new school. I had to buy her new school uniforms and she gets upset about them. I hope I can get her at school one day with her to be more familiar. I think she will be ok. I'm also going to try and get her a playdate with someone who will be in her class.

Anybody have more ideas about helping her feel more relaxed about this big change?

I think she gets the learning improvements. She is just sad about leaving her school.

The good news is I found out my kids can continue to do sports at the old school but DD has to wait a year.
