It’s not a given that the school down the street is going to be right for every child. We tend to make an assumption that our children will fit into the mold that has been provided and that we’ll be content with the choices we are handed. But why does this always have to be the case?
Sometimes, we made find that our children need a smaller, or quieter, location within which to thrive. Other times we may realize that they have physical therapy needs, occupational therapy needs, autism, and other issues that will prevent them from getting the most from their local school.
There is nothing to be ashamed of when this occurs. Our job, as parents, is to find the best fit for our children; not to figure out how to make our children fit into a mold they’ve been given. And this, truly, is our task.
Explore your options – you have them! No matter where you live, there are other educational choices around and choices that you can make. You never know what you’ll find for your children when you start looking around today.
