we have been lucky that the Guides Aprilia goes to is a very mixed bunch and comes from several different schools so no tight little cliques. It does help that the leadership team are pretty hot on making sure things go well though! Teh unit she is “supposed” to go to (ie closer and the unit our Brownies feeds into) is pants at the moment and I’m so glad I didn’t send her there in the end! I’m guessing there isn’t the option to transfer her? Hugs for the angst though, these social activities are supposed to be fun!!!

thanks jan, i think i am trying to encourage perserverance with guides because hoping at some point sb will be part of the group. it is in the village, and would be ideal if she ended up having a bunch of local friends. i am not convinced on it working, as these girls have all been to junior school together and are at only a coupe of senior schools…
for bb, trying to just encourage perseverance!
but yes, woudn’t want either to be actively not enjoying. bb enjoys gym when there, and is now enjoying judo, with the scaffold of me or dh there, and sb in her group as extra to partner her. tho, v excitingly and huge step forward, she did let a boy partner her for grading practice

It’s tricky getting the balance of activities, isn’t it? You want them to be stretched but not to the point where they’re really not enjoying it. C struggled with Guides at first, then she started to really enjoy it, but recently she’s not liking it so much. M thinks she doesn’t want to go, which leaves a bit of a social gap for her when she leaves Brownies, and we’re not sure how to fill it.
