Moving the family.
We are in the process of making the desicion on whether we should move our family so our oldest daughter, 13, could go to a LD School. For the past 8 years I have utilized all resources in our community and am now feeling the time crunch because she is in the 7th grade and I feel like the opportunity for her to gain the social and academic skills in a safe and nurturing enviroment are fading fast. We currently have her in a private Catholic school. This was after 5 years in public school and one year of homeschooling. They don't offer certain resources but have allowed me to create a curriculum and program for her on my own. My biggest thing about having her in a school enviroment was she was losing out on the whole social aspect. Especially with kids her own age. That is beginning to backfire on me though because Im now noticing the social anxiety that has created havoc with her. Im feeling like I need to make this desicion to move us so she can be in an enivroment where they can help her with her academic disability but also her high anxiety, and social skills. Plus just some life learning skills. Im always told what a sweet, well mannered, child I have, but I don't think just those qualitites will get her through life. So through all of this I guess Im trying to ask about schools for her. We live in Nevada, closer to Northern Calilfornia, and have looked at the Sterene School in S.F., but the cost of living is crazy. We have looked at the Winston School in Dallas, and also been in contact with St. Anthony's in Dallas which is more of a theraputic school. Both we love,but do we move her away from all her friends, the couple she has sadly to say, and her cousins and extended family. We the immediate family, her mom,dad, and 3 sisters would move with her. Sorry for the length and any advice you could give would be great!
