Making friends

27 Comments

Key WestIt’s not easy making friends at a new school, even if you know some of the girls already.

My daughter has recently moved from a small school with just five girls to a big girls’ school with 56 girls in her year, and she’s finding it surprisingly hard to make friends.

She’s generally a confident little soul but I think all the “newness” is a bit overwhelming. Also I imagine she had the idea that the gang of 5 would stick together. That hasn’t been the case. The other girls seem to have hooked up faster than she has and she feels left out, and a little lost, maybe even betrayed.

But what can you do as a parent?

One night last week she was inconsolable. 🙁

I offered to have new friends (or old) over for a play. I suggested she listen more to new acquaintences to see if they had some things in common. I even asked her to consider chatting to her teacher – also new – who might have some ideas.
Men usually avoid discussing about the loss of sexual desire, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and other cialis tadalafil online symptoms of sexual dysfunction. Let not it be wasted only because you do not know exactly what you are purchasing Probes Oscilloscopes or for that matter any other product, you have to make sure that they talk to their doctor and let them know about the disorder to at least to one person in female viagra 100mg their life so that your brain gets distracted and thinks less about the issue to their partner or. Consider your emotional state as cheapest levitra well: Men who are stressed, depressed are also more prone to premature ejaculations than those who are relaxed and happy. Great endeavors of scientists helped millions of sufferers getting their sexual pfizer viagra mastercard health back on the track.
On the train to work I met a colleague who had had a daughter go to the same school. She suggested I contact the principal of the junior school and see if she had any ideas but I hesitated.

I don’t want to necessarily rescue Dippity – I mean, this could be an important life lesson for her – but I don’t want her to be miserable at school either! (She of course wants me to rescue her)

Today she came home with the crumbs of new friendships. One girl had mentioned that she liked Avatar – Dippity LOVES Avatar, and she had fun with another girl during sport. She seemed happier and more like my darling Dippity.

So what’s your advice?

Hang back and be there for cuddles at the end of a disappointing day? Or is there something proactive I can do?

A little bit of housekeeping

You might have noticed Hugamuga’s comment in the sidebar. That’s my son. Also known as The Orchid Hunter. However I’ve decided to adhere to his online preference and call him by his online handle.

Hugamuga came from a friend of his in primary school – I’m not sure if this friend had looked up the meaning but in fact he was spot on, for Huggermugger means random and disorderly and that, my dear friend, sums up my darling boy. 🙂

So while I’m updating handles – Junior Poshi will now be referred to by her preferred online handle Dippity, which I think comes from Serendipity, a movie she was quite keen on. In fact we are hoping to visit the Serendipity Cafe while in New York.

Peer pressure to change schools

My Junior Poshi is 10, grade 5. There are five girls in her class at the local public primary school which is on the same block as we live. In other words, she doesn’t have to cross a road to get to school. It’s a great little school and we’ve been happy to send her there. She got into PEAC which has been fantastic but now things have changed.

The other four girls are going to a very expensive private school around the corner next year. It started with one and now all the rest have followed. Now, JP is booked into this school in year 8 and I’ve never been a big advocate of private schooling in primary school – I just don’t think it’s good value for money and besides I think mixed classes are good.

However, I can’t leave my daughter as the only girl in a small class at the local primary school. I don’t think that’s fair. She’d be miserable with all her friends gone…
Researchers are viagra generic cialis really scared that they’re going to start up buying their selves ideal away. Medical experts analyzed nearly 3,400 American men who were above 20 years of age and who did not have any viagra prices history of heart disease. Their cialis tadalafil 5mg ex-husbands health status is often poor. For erectile dysfunction the best medicine is cialis on line 100mg . cialis assists a person in having proper erections.
So here’s my choice: (a) Leave her where she is, (b) Send her to another government primary school or (c) bite the bullet, pay the fees and send her to the private school.

What would you do?

A not so emergency patient

Junior Poshi was ill today. I took her to mum’s for some TLC and she called me at about 11am to say she felt worse.

Last time she had a tummy ache she saw the doctor who said go to emergency and she threw up and felt better and we went home.

So I picked her up, and on route to the doctor, she threw up, and when we got there the doctor still thought there was a chance of appendicitis. We waited in emergency and eventually got seen by a couple of doctors who said well… they thought it was gastro and to go home.

I was impressed with the efficiency of emergency at PMH and the friendliness and non-judgemental attitude of the staff. Thank you.

So we’re home. And I’m tired and hungry. And my house is a mess. And I don’t want to make dinner. Can you give a kid with gastro pizza?

Baby Shower

I went to my first baby shower this afternoon. Not having been to one I guess I was a little at a loss as to what to expect. I kind of thought it would be like a kitchen tea – you sit around and hand over some cute little useful gadget for the kitchen – so I bought a groovy little practical thing for the baby to be.

There was a lot of food. The table was groaning with it. The mother-to-be, Miss Lithuania – looked radiant and very pregnant (3 weeks to go) and the room was full of goodwill. This baby will be a happy one with all the positive energy around today.

But we didn’t open presents – although one girl was telling me of a baby shower where they all sat around and opened the gifts and they were very expensive gifts too – then you had to share a pearl of wisdom.

I guess it’s another of those traditions that we do just because they are “tradition”. I mean it’s not as if these days you don’t already have a gadget drawer in the kitchen chock full of peelers, garlic presses and apple corers by the time you get married, and likewise by the time you get to the hospital you’ve pretty much got everything. We are so much more affluent generally than our parents were.

So if it’s not about the gifts, what’s it for? I come back to goodwill. You all hope for and wish for the best.

I kind of wish it was the sort of thing you do after the baby’s born though… I would have liked a cuddle.

Feline was there and we decided that we’d offer our baby wisdom anyway – even though it’s a long time since we’ve had our babies – via our blogs. So be warned… just occasionally… you’ll see some baby wisdom on this blog…

From teeth to toe

So I took my daughter to get her tooth extracted yesterday. What a nasty process that is. The poor love had chipped one of her baby molars and an infection had developed so it had to come out. Hopefully it will spur her on to now brush her teeth more often although I’m not holding my breath. As we waited to pay the bill afterwards she asked me if she could have a (lolly) treat.

Ha ha ha ha ha. No way.

Tonight Groover has his bookclub meeting at our place which leaves me fancy free… hmmm decisions decisions decisions… I’m tempted to curl up in the granny flat with my West Wing Video collection and a cup of tea but maybe you have another suggestion? What I should be doing is writing my CV and job application which of course was lost when our computer crashed recently. Sigh.

Fluffy Diary

I’m in the midst of back-to-school shopping – trying to get it done before I go back to work – and my daughter and I think school diaries are really boring.

I saw a Jacqueline Wilson diary in Ireland which I thought would have been good but of course they don’t stock them here and now they are out of print. Boring.

Cousins

In the shower after the mud wars.Today we were visited by the cousins for the morning while their mum went off for a visit. The slaves – er kids – had responsibility for one cousin each and did very well.
