[quote=Anonymous]I am the first to admit I am a bit of a helicopter parent so I am sympathetic to you and understand your argument. BUT my gut feeling is to not ask for a switch. She DOES need coping skills for situations like this. I am with other posters who say what about college and jobs. I think you are trying to rationalize that it’s different. You need to teach her resilience. You should tell her that this is a life lesson and a learning opportunity. You can influence HOW she sees this situation. Don't agree with her that this is a tragedy. If she gets through this and thrives she will have built resilience and self esteem. Just so you know, I’m not all talk - we pulled our reserved child out of public school and put her into a private school where she didn’t have any friends. She was really proud of herself that she was able to acclimate to a new school.[/quote]
