[quote=Anonymous]In American society, it seems that the traditionally acceptable age for a child to move away from home is 18 when they go off to college. I think it's hard to consider that your child may go off to school 4 years earlier than many American children. However, it many parts of the world, boarding school is the norm for upper class families. As other posters have pointed out, American families often choose boarding school when their local public/private options are limited and the family cannot move to a different location. This is a family decision. One you, your husband, and your child all need to be comfortable with. I would sit down with your family and share how you feel, allow your child to share how they feel, and also give your husband the same opportunity. Once all the cards are on the table, then you can realistically decide if this is the right decision for your family. Good luck[/quote]
