I am so scared to tell my children that they’re changing schools—again.
I have recently accepted a new job that will necessitate a move across the country. This is a good thing in many respects , but I am concerned and feeling very guilty about how it will affect my kids, ages 7 and 9.I don’t normally experience working-mom guilt, but this one is hitting me hard. I will be working remotely until next summer, so we will not have to move schools mid-year, but it will be a big shake up.
Transitions are unpredictable and unavoidable, and while it’s unlikely that a 9- and 7-year-old will have an easy time accepting that, they’ll learn it by continuing to go through it.You may be able to lessen the impact by researching extracurricular activities or social groups they may enjoy in your new city. Discuss your plans and their feelings about them as often as feels appropriate.
