[quote=Anonymous]DD is in Kindergarten and she (and we) really like her school so far. We live in a family-friendly townhouse neighborhood, but there's a lot of turnover so we don't have lasting neighborhood friendships: people leave. Most of DD's friends are from school, the scout troop at the school, and church. DH and I want to have another child and move to a bigger home in the area, but all the homes in this school zone are small -- mostly townhouses; our realtor told us to give up. DH moved every two years growing up in a military family, so he is adamant that DD won't change schools. I feel like moving once in the local area is probably not that bad, but then I see the social confidence DD has at school and how many people she knows, and I hate to uproot her. Our friends who have made similar local moves for bigger homes and yards, report their kids having difficulty adjusting at school. If you have experience with this, what do you think? [/quote]
