Answer 1

Think about how easy it is for 2nd graders to get along; at least compared to highschoolers. It gets harder to make friends as the years go by. So get them out ASAP if you are ever going to do it. It is the best for all of them. Do it before he gets a girlfriend and they have to split up =)~~~>

Answer 2

My parents took me out of school and moved me to a different village when i was 9 years old. I was upset at the time because i was settled and had made friends and the prospect of making new firends scared me. I hated the first few days of my new schoo but i was just being stoborn really and i soon settled in and 11 years on i can now see why they did it and it was for the best! do what you think it right.  

Answer 3

dont worry about it. its probably better to do it now then later because im in high school right now and i know some new students who came during their 11th grade year and its really hard for them to make friends. So get your son in the new school and dont worry to much cause odds are he'll make new friends very soon(hopefully hes not shy), hope it helps a lil!

First, if you are anticipating a move for a better opportunity, or you feel it is in the best interest of your family for other reasons, do not feel guilty.  I felt terribly guilty when I learned I would move when my children were young due to their dad's employment opportunities. It is hard, it's true...children do make friends and bond, however, the younger the child, the easier the transition. Children make friends so quickly; much easier than adults do.  Being a parent means making choices, and your happiness or contentment is also very important. To withhold doing something (just for the kids' sake) is unhealthy. You would always second-guess your decision and it sounds like you want to make the move.  My son left behind great friends when we moved to another state (he was four).  He made new friends in the neighborhood and we also kept in touch by telephone with his former pals, who ended up coming to see us. Once you enroll him in his new school, I would suggest staying in the class to help out for a day, just to give him reassurance. He will see you are interested in his new classroom and you will be able to relate to him about the setting, teacher, other children, etc. Children are resilient...follow your gut instinct and trust the kids will do fine.  

Answer 5

I think its great that you want to move your children to where you grew up.  My sister was 4 years older than me when my parents moved us back to the small town my dad grew up in.  I was just about to start school when we moved back.  

I won't lie... its going to be difficult for your son at first but since he is so young it will help.  He'll make new friends and you can let him write notes to his old ones. Yeah he might be sad for a while but really if you think about it, parents move all the time and their kids move with them.  I've never heard of a child not making new friends.  

Good luck and think of this move as adventure.  Tell your kids that.  It will be fine. Promise

Answer 6

well its not good to move your kids but if your going to settle in your home town untill both of your kids finnish school then it shouldnt be a problem he is still young and it will be easy enough for him to make new friends

Answer 7

I had to move my kids twice to two different towns,like you i felt bad but my kids a justed very quickly and there schooling never suffered

Answer 8

If you are not happy , your kids won't be happy. They love you and know when you are not content. Only you know what's best for your children, but as they are part of you.....you need to do what's best for you. Children adapt so much easier than adults, for all they really want is a loving safe place to grow. Trust yourself ! You're doing fine!!

Answer 9

Leave Him Where He Is. If You Move Him He Will Have To Settle In + Make New Friends.
