@fisherzhangs_in_china: All parents have worries when their children start school, and Nicole is no different. Being the worrier she is, she’s been thinking about every possible scenario and finding it hard to switch off. I’m in a very different place now. After years of thinking about where our children should grow up, I’ve made peace with my decision that China is the best place for our family. Of course, there will be challenges, but a lot of what happens from here is outside of my control. So instead of constantly worrying about what might go wrong, I’ve decided to embrace the journey, support our kids, and focus on making the most of the opportunities they have.

Why be so nervous about a child starting school?

I agree with Nicole about Millie. Millie has such a (fantastic) strong personality that she could have a lot of issues. It really depends on the type of educator she gets. I think Nicole deserves some more flowers for the upcoming school year haha 😂☺️

Would you not be up to sending Millie to an international school instead? Or do they not have them in your city?

I think the little girl will deal fine with her personality and discipline, because she’s smart

Millie will adapt to the challenges and find her bearings scholastically and socially because she has parents like yourself who will scaffold her development as she grows.

Honestly as a teacher in Scotland it’s shambles. I would probably rather my child was in school in almost any other country because I don’t trust our system at all 😅

She’ll adjust, but the fear of the unknown is what worries people I think

I think Nicole’s fears are very valid for Millie. She is a wonderful spirited girl with a lot of personality. I think Nicole doesn’t want that to be dimmed and that’s so valid. 🥰 And as mothers we do worry a lot 🙏

it's okay. just observe of how it's going to be. children adapt easily. if Millie has reached the age of 18, she could pursue her study somewhere she likes. same with Isaac

You'll be surprised at how easily children adapt, they're going to be absolutely fine! They're alot more resilient than we give them credit for!

Conformity vs individualism. Does the Chinese education system allow for children with either learning disabilities or special needs ?? Because it’s not possible that the Chinese population has all “rocket scientists” as students. You need a world for EVERYONE.

Millie is a wonderful little girl. Very bright and full of fun, if the primary schools in China can't help her learn, she won't be better off in England. I see lots of dancing and exercise in lessons in China, which will help with all her energy. xx
