Daughter is lonely!

How About taking her To parks each Weekend ! Must be Fun

its good idea thu to take her to parks but she wont get much entertaiment cuz she will be alone i recommend you if u admit her to an intl schools she`ll get decnt no. of freindz n she wont feel so bored ...hope i helped

Thanks both your advise is appreciated. I'm desperately trying to get her into international school, will try the parks idea.

your daughter is still in the process of adapting and adjusting the sorroundings since its only 2 months when you transfered in that compound, but to ease the loneliness of your kid you must talk and show them your thoughts about the place. when at home bring her everytime you go out esp. in the crowded place most esp. where the same age as your daugther is visible. visiting neighbors house with kids will help her closer and you too to the parent.

sharbatly is boring compound, i live beside Najmah intersection there are alot of interesting places to take your daughter to. but friends is hard to find

Hi there
We moved here about 5 weeks ago. Also battling to find a school for my son, and I am home schooling him at the moment. Was worried that he was going to be lonely here but the compound we are in is fantastic. We are in Arabian Homes...Sierra compound. He has made so many friends here.
Really battling with the schools here, but going to start hounding them again soon.
Hope your daughter makes some friends real soon

hi there.if u wana make her happy maybe u cn change ur compound from there to arabian homes where all the westerns stay in jeddah.lots of kid playing inside with lots of activity here and near to int.school here.just email me if u wana phone num of this accommodation gmiet@yahoo.com

If you have free time or on weekends I think there is good place where your daughter can find many of children with the same age ex. Mega mall or Arab complex mall etc there are many places and in Andalos mall specially you can visit the science park where she can enjoy to much with the dinosaurs too I hope this will help you.

Hi ,

Me and my family will be moving out to Jeddah in 3 to 4 Months. In fact i come in March. Our little Girl is 7 going on 17 so looking for some advice on th following
Good Compounds
Schools

Also my partner is very nervous about coming. How have you found living in Jeddah

try continental school or Jeddah Prep. I have heard both are good

ya allah

Girls at that age have to earn so much fun ... in shaa allah things will work out for you ya rab im sure there are alot of good girls in the school .

i have my sister when we where out of jeddah last summer she was crying all day , than we had to make games for her . Alhamdullah i have four sisters , so they can take terms other wise i will be stuck with her ^_^

Take care

Good luck with both the compounds and schools
We are at the Arabian Homes Sierra compound and it is fantastic

My son has so many friends..and the kids just love compound life.
School is another thong all together. We have been trying since March last year to get my son in a school.
American school is not even taking applications, they are full.
My son is going to the British school tomorrow for a assessment. We are home schooling at the moment.

I am so fed up with these schools I want to scream.
It is as if they do not want to take him....because we are homeschooling.....BUT we are homeschooling, becasue we have no other option.
Can not just let him sit at home and wait for one day.

stevem....would suggets you try all the schools asap.
Schooling here is truly a problem.

Best of luck with the move
