Sending Your Child to Private School When You Move

Author: Lorne MacInnes


Moving can be a difficult transition for many children. Among the many challenges children face when moving, changing schools mid-way through the year can be stressful. The curriculum has already begun, they've already gotten into a routine for the year, made friends, gotten to know their teachers and have settled down.

Uprooting your children mid-way through the year will be difficult at best and traumatizing at worst. They'll be faced with the challenge of meeting new friends and fitting into an already established routine. Not only can this cause adjustment problems at school, but it could also cause undue stress at home. Kids who are stressed out tend to do worse in school both academically and socially than kids who are under little or no stress.

Instead of having your kids switch schools midway through the year, if you know you're going to be moving ahead of time, enroll them in a nearby private school at the beginning of the year. September is a time of transition for everyone, not just the new students. Everyone is faced with new classes, new teachers, new classmates and new routines. At the beginning of the school year, no matter how long they've been at the same school, everyone is adjusting to the new situation. By sending your child to private school, they'll be there while everyone is adjusting and will be part of the adjustment process.

It's difficult enough to be the new student in school, but by planning ahead a little and sending your child to a private school you can ease the transition period. Many new students start at the beginning of the year so it's likely that there will be other new students in the same boat. The teachers are new as well so there will be a natural period of everyone getting to know each other. Your children will have a natural window for making friends not only with other new students but also with returning students before everyone re-establishes their social groups and routines for the year.

By enrolling your child into a private school, when you do move there will be one less change to have to worry about. Throughout the process of uprooting your child from his home, his neighborhood friends and his routine, at least he will have the stability of staying at the same school. Having the consistency of the same school, friends, teachers and school routine will ease the transition for your child. Not everything will be uprooted and changed; it's important to keep as many aspects of your child's life as consistent as possible.

So, if you know you're going to be moving within the same area sometime during the school year, but not within the same school district, plan ahead. Something as simple as enrolling your child in a private school at the beginning of the year can make a huge difference in the adjustment period for your child when you move.

The New Mom's 5-minute Daily Guide to De-stressing

Author: Salena Kulkarni

A barrage of activities at home can make you feel a little wound up. Add to that the occasional discussions and issues between you and your partner, and you may find yourself in need of an outlet.

A daily journal is just what you need to jot down your thoughts and innermost feelings about things that transpired during the day. While the traditional way is to write on pages of a ruled notebook in a chronological order, you may also consider starting a personal blog, which is simply an electronic journal in the Internet. Tech savvy moms experience a lot of joy and relief from unleashing their creativity as they design and maintain their entries online.

If personal security is your concern, then you may choose to create a blog under a pen name that no one but you can recognize. The blog site, Blogspot, recently introduced a feature that blocks unauthorized users from viewing a blog's contents without the prior consent of the blog owner. Whatever floats your boat should be fine for as long as you remember the following guidelines for effective journal-keeping:

Regularity

All you need is at least five minutes of your time everyday. It is the same amount of time it takes you to wash your face and brush your teeth. Five minutes is shorter than the time it will take you to catch up with friends on the phone. But the therapeutic benefits of keeping a journal are tremendous. Think of it as your sounding board or your shrink at home minus the hourly charges.

Express your feelings

While you may not help writing down a major event of the day, it is more effective to express your thoughts and feelings about it rather than to dwell on the details of the day. When you write down how you feel, you tap into your innermost self and release what's inside.

Reflect on those feelings

Most of life's valuable lessons are not learned in the classroom but in deep reflection over experiences. Examine the causes of your happy, sad or angry reactions. Processing your feelings may lead you to a better understanding of yourself. Knowing what makes you tick is the key to avoiding negative triggers or seeking out productive activities.

Attitude of gratitude

Finding that silver lining behind every cloud keeps your hopes up and your spirits from sinking into depression. Your silver lining everyday can come in finding something to be thankful for. It need not be a major thing for you to appreciate it. Counting your blessings everyday promotes positive feelings as you begin to realize that your life is not as miserable as it may seem.

Keeping a journal can be a powerful but simple tool for promoting emotional wellness. To reap its benefits try to make it a habit for at least 40 days. After the 40th day, you will discover how your outlook may have gradually improved or how things may have resolved by themselves over time. All it takes is as little as 5 minutes everyday.
