This next few months is all about figuring out where she will go and then we will be on track to prepare for the transition..

Still working on it and as much as I adore Our School, am not convinced this one will stay there til the end. We'll see.<br /><br />Denyse - thank you for your encouragement.<br /><br />Bron - one step at a time. Yea 5 is a lifetime away from secondary school, at this stage. By the time your child is two years older it won't seem quite as daunting because they will be more mature; more ready. You will be a more experienced parent. Honestly, we get better with age!!!!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-89587681393166980542015-01-20T17:29:27.358+11:002015-01-20T17:29:27.358+11:00I'm hugely scared of high school, but it's...I'm hugely scared of high school, but it's bearing down on us like a train.

The main concern for me was bullying and we did encounter it and it did have a very negative effect on him. I had to withdraw him from one school. Long story but I too have a soft spot for those kids who are more sensitive or vulnerable! xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
