[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree doesn't matter in early grades. We actually moved right before 3rd and I was so stressed about it and it worked out fine. Kids make friends fast in early grades.

[b]I do think moving earlier will help YOU make friends at the school more easily[/b]. That was absolutely the harder part for us. Our kid had friends and was happy within a few months, whereas I still felt a little awkward and out of place at PTA meetings and family events for a lot longer. But even that only took about a year and now I don't think anyone cares that we haven't been around since K. You just keep showing up and are friendly and remember names and eventually it gets easier.[/quote]

I think this is overstated. We moved to our current house the year before our oldest started kindergarten. She is now a senior. None of the people I met during the PTA events/birthday party years became my friends. Friendly acquaintances yes, people I wave and smile at yes, but friends, no. And if I moved away I wouldn’t stay in contact. [/quote]
