[quote=Anonymous]I would say don’t move before 6th for girls, and before 8th for boys.

Girls - my friend moved hers before 7th, but i say 6th, because of pandemic virtual etc etc. 7th was hard moving into friends. Since she knew no one, and is definitely fearful of new experiences.. she ended up in a crowd of friends that isn’t good. It’s like, everyone else in the school knew that the group is toxic. There’s a reason the friend group is a small bubble and doesn’t have a lot of healthy friend overlap. So my friend’s kid .. being new.. was glommed onto by this group. And they were so accepting, right?! Except they are manipulative. Moral: middle school is hard enough, but no one knows you and you’re not naturally outgoing, you could end up with toxic friends

8th for boys - because boys are out to prove themselves and well before 9th grade. It’s the high school jockeying for position happens in 8th. They do dumb stuff to prove themselves. If you want them to do less dumb stuff, they might be better to already have a partial social spot. Nothing really to prove.[/quote]
