Question by Mark Y: How can my friend help her two pre-teen daughters accept their new middle school?
My female friend separated from her husband about 6 months ago & are divorcing. They moved to the west side of town & she put her 2 pre-teen daughters in the new middle school. It is a better school with greater academic & sports programs. They were both popular in their old school & they want to go back to it. Her decision is for them to stay in the new school. They have had a number of arguements over this. How can she help them accept this decision & bring peace back to her home?

Answer by Jake
Tell her to wait a while. most of the time kids will adjust quickly. Just think of the first time you drop your kids off at kindergarten, they usually get upset for the first week or so then they are fine. it may take longer with older kids but they will make the best of it. Wish you both the best of luck.

    There shouldn’t be an argument. She’s the parent and they’re going to have to accept her decision. There’s a lot of things in life we’re not going to agree with but we do what we have to.

    Middle School is hard. Harder I think for girl’s than boys. Girls these days are mean to say the least.

    Best thing they can do if go forward with confidence. Keep their head high and use their self-esteem to it’s up most.

    She is the mother. There need not be any discussion on how she can convince them.

    Give then what they want. Spoil them a little- not too much.
