But your kids are involved in extra-curricular activities and have some interests that fit in to popular culture, so they should have some things in common with their new classmates that enable them to make friends. Let me say that I don't believe in exposing kids to everything just because it's part of current culture, but I don't believe in complete isolation either. You might want to teach them how to use a combination lock in case their new school has lockers. ;)Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13469906.post-80221329242642862032009-10-15T15:11:15.777-04:002009-10-15T15:11:15.777-04:00Your post was a breath of hope for me!

Most of my children are looking forward to our new home, but a couple are staunchly against the move. I think it's mostly due to fear of not having friends. <br /><br />Probably the kids will attend public school next year. You've provided me with inspiration that it could be a positive thing for our kids at least in the short term. Thanks!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11171063087193671797noreply@blogger.com
