She went from a small primary school where she knew everyone to a huge girls school which is a 45 minute walk away. Everyday she came home and said that she wanted to go back to her old school. It's taken a year but she now seems to have settled in. It's so hard for them isn't it.Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665464372841227874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-80554191924418140812008-10-05T14:31:00.000+01:002008-10-05T14:31:00.000+01:00Aww, poor girl.

I feel so sorry for my first years as they battle to come to terms with different rooms, books, subjects, teachers, etc slowly getting more and more exhausted as we head to Christmas. However, they do return in January as fully fledged pre-teens with renewed confidence - hang in there!Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-15668330893691433512008-10-03T19:58:00.000+01:002008-10-03T19:58:00.000+01:00If you ever decide to adopt another daughter, plea...If you ever decide to adopt another daughter, please let me know, I will be anxiously waiting on the edge of the seat.<BR/><BR/>I *love* a good hot rose petal bath, with baby oil and candles all over the place and relaxing music playing in the background.

Its hard enough just to try and be at the right classroom at the right time with everything youre expected to have with you! It kinda un-does all the good stuff that primary school gives them. Plus girly hormones thrown in. It really isn't easy. Not at all. <BR/><BR/>You done the best thing-with a nice bath and 'pampery' things! Hope it gets better for her.Suzysoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839087307907606119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-4081140697829086182008-10-01T23:16:00.000+01:002008-10-01T23:16:00.000+01:00I do feel for Tall Girl, growing up is not easy, w...I do feel for Tall Girl, growing up is not easy, we always want to go back but it would never be the same.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682070120172969234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-9360989359750555432008-10-01T20:09:00.000+01:002008-10-01T20:09:00.000+01:00Suburbia, "pre-teen angst" says it all!

Tall Girl is very lucky to have such an empathetic mother. <BR/>Right now a hot bath and soothing music sounds pretty good to me, too:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-43809361707305655602008-10-01T18:25:00.000+01:002008-10-01T18:25:00.000+01:00Our little girl is struggling with getting used to...Our little girl is struggling with getting used to Primary School.

She was split up from her primary school friends ( new school so big they have to divide the year into several classes). She feels her best friend now has a better group of friends than she does.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596425511240774220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-89895205795736647372008-09-30T21:19:00.000+01:002008-09-30T21:19:00.000+01:00Hello!
