[quote=Anonymous]As the class mom, I make it a point to check in with families, especially those who are new to the school. Recently, I had a conversation with a mom whose daughter is having a tough time adjusting. She mentioned that her child isn’t quite fitting in, and that other families have established relationships that make it harder for her daughter to feel included.

I know from experience that it takes time for new families to settle into the community, and some years are more challenging than others. However, in this particular case, it seems the family is still struggling to integrate. At a recent parent night, the father mostly stayed on his phone, and the mother appeared somewhat reserved—at first, she interacted with others, but then spent the rest of the evening walking around alone and eventually ended up sitting with her husband, both on their phones.
It seems like this family may be having difficulty building connections.

Why wouldn’t a parent in this situation explore some outside support, like therapy to work through barriers that may be making it harder for them to adjust? Making connections can be tough, and professional guidance could offer a fresh perspective.[/quote]
