Plus see all the Nigerian names in it! I can’t imagine the parents heart break. You move here for a better life & your child ends up with a life sentence. Very sad. |

dupyshoo: 100% agree with you. I’m the socially awkward parent Sef so I struggle to make small talk while the mums are super nice. I’ve learnt not to force it and only talk when I’m in the mood Plus as you said, kids are different. I have one kid like yours who’s a social butterfly and the class leader and 2 who are super selective and will only make friends with a small group. The trick is not to force it and let things flow naturally. |

jesmond3945: Honestly, don’t sweat it too much. Brown skinned people are also very scarce where I am. My kids are the only ones in an entire school (pri +sec combined). As Ticha said, they play a lot in school already, plus here fortunately everyone invites the whole class to parties so their social calendar is busy. Just get them involved in extra curricular activities where you can and keep raising them to be confident. Also, (and I tried this recently for my daughter), you can initiate a play date request yourself if your child is particularly close to one person no matter the race. You’ll be shocked that the parent’s are open to it as well. 2 Likes |

DFmum: I hope you find. Otherwise it’s normally a formal letter to the Head of School informing them that he will be relocating to live with this father. It’s not a big deal. As long as you inform the school and it’s acknowledged. |

Mamalistic5: I’ll wait for more experienced people to add their take but I reckon that Epsom is generally a posher area. So cost of living will be higher than Aberdeen but the access to quality schools for your kids will also be more. If you’re worried about diversity you should also think well as Aberdeen is more diverse. |

LagosismyHome: Thanks for sharing. I watched it yesterday and thought that it’s unfortunate that the way our country is set up now, most parents wouldn’t be comfortable sending their young kids home for 2 years. I see the benefit but fear won’t allow me 1 Like |

Irenenwaka: We also travelled with expired passports for my kids in Dec. They have 2nd passports though. When immigration asked we said there’s no consulate near us plus Covid issues. Not sure what the situation will be now that things have eased off but your country can’t turn you away from entering. Las las you’ll be asked to pay for Visa on arrival which is what we expected but they let us go without qualms. 2 Likes |

JanegirlN: Consider if your Instructor is really the right fit for you. He/she should be getting you to relax not filling you with anxiety. I had one trial lesson with an old man that rubbed off me wrong so I decided not to go ahead. I knew I made the right decision when he text me to say I wasted his time because I decided not to go ahead My next instructor was very chill and made it easier to pass. So if this person is always shouting at you, change them. You’re not paying money to be verbally harassed. 8 Likes |

bunsuq: The link suggests that there might be exemptions on the basis of disability if you provide proof. But it’s a case by case Kinda thing. Your approach is okay. However, depending on how old she is, if you can get an exemption for her with a report it might be better to do so and don’t force/assist her to spread her fingers. As she grows older, you may not always be with her. It’s better it’s on record that she is exempt, than you assist her today and can’t assist her tomorrow. You get? 12 Likes 1 Share |

bunsuq: Did you offer to help? Can you ask to speak with a manager perhaps? Politely. How did she do the biometric for her passport? It’s also possible that the Uk guidelines is simply what they are following and the doctors report will help you avoid future stress. The link below suggests that’s the case https://www.gov.uk/passport-services-disabled 1 Like |

bunsuq: September Intake is typically sorted by February in most UK councils. However, your best bet would be to reach out to your local council as soon as the kids arrive. If they are of school age they will place them. 1 Like 1 Share |
