What would your answer be?

Avani! We all think differently and I would hate doing this to my child and thta too a 10 year old. Unless it is some professional course [higher studies] I would not allow my child to leave home.As far as possible I would move along with my child whereever my husband is and would spend all my time and devotion to thta child wherever the school and whatever the syllabus is. If she/he has difficulty coping with change in school and lessons I would work my maximum with the child making him updated in his lessons.THe child needs the care and attention of parents, and at least one should be constantly there for the child in the formative years . Wiht so much of corrupting influence these days it is very risky and I would fear that my child may fall into bad company or get into wrong habits. Another important thing is thta hte child would resent this through his/her life [I have seen thsi happen to people] or hte bbonding may not be strong between child and parents.She /he would enjoy his time with friends wherever he is.

Personally , I think I would ask her what she wants to do. I don't think I could send a child off to school somewhere. I was raised in a close family and I feel that parents need to be with their children. I have a sister-in-law that decided to home school her children, which allows her to spend more time with them growing up. If your child is sent to school away from you, she may feel like she doesn't have that family bond that she needs. Children need their parents and even though you love her dearly, she may not feel that love because she is not home enough to feel like a family unit. Education is great, don't get me wrong, but it isn't everything, family is everything!

Well I would like to ask you a question, Are you also working? If no then you should be keeping your daughter with you. If you think the residential school is a better one then you should be moving with her. 10 year is too young. until and unless both the parents are very busy and if there is no proper person to take care kids can be put into a residential school.

as a mother, it is a very tough decision to have your child separated from you, and i salute you for making that decision. however, as kids get older they are being bothered with so many questions in mind. your daughter may feel unwanted because you send her to a residential school instead of her staying with you at home. i think it is only your husband who goes abroad and you stay put, maybe you can try being with her and just send her to a normal school.
