I have some questions about moving. When we moved here dd 1 was ( an only child) and 5 and we could get her very excited about moving overseas. Now she is 8 and knows what is ahead and really struggling about losing these friends. She has some strong friendships here and while I have connected with a few moms on FB, her best friends mom doesn't speak English and tbh, I don't think we will ever see her again. :( how can I help dd - see is so dramatic and sad?
Also dd2 turned 2 last week and has been been beginning to show an interest in toilet training. We leave North Africa this week, will spend a month with family in Canada, and then are moving to Shanghai in August. I am wondering if it is a good idea to try and toilet train her, or if I should wait until we are more stable...would love to hear from others who have been through this. She is also still bfing once or twice a day, and I would like to stop ....do you think this is too much change and I should wait a while?
Sorry if this is a bit garbled, I have just had a very difficult bedtime and am exhausted. But I would love to hear any suggestions about how to transition the dcs.
Thanks so much!
