Going through a divorce with a 7th grade girl and 5th grade boy. I have been pushing to move this summer to start the school year with everyone else. How awful will it be for my 7th grade girl to move in the middle of the year? Im very worried about how accepting the cliques will be. She is straight A student, into soceer and track. My son hasnt had any clique problems yet so Im more concerned about my daughter.
Help, cant decide how hard I should be pushing this point. House isnt sold here yet but I could rent in the district I want. Thank you. If she is into athletics she is not going to have a problem making friends. In fact, if you get here quick enough you could get her into one of the summer athletic programs in your area and she could make friends before school ever starts. It would be ideal to have them moved before school starts.
But sometimes things don't go the way you want them to. I have found that kids are very adaptable. Many years ago, when my parents were moving, it was recommended that they move after the school year started. Coming in at the beginning of the year sort of allows your 'newness' to go unnoticed. Not sure if this is still the thinking, but we had no problem. I was in 5th grade at the time, sister was in 8th, brother was a 10th grader.
My older brother had the most difficulty, which I think is the typical case - the older you get, the more difficult it is. I was just talking to one of my friends about this. She and her family have moved around a lot and she definitely recommends moving in after school starts.
