Moving to France with your children is a collection of reflections and helpful advice based on my own experiences as
both an English parent and a teacher living in a small French town.The book attempts to enlighten newly arrived - and established- families on unfamiliar but fascinating matters which need to beconsidered by parents wishing their children to be comfortable and to succeed in their new environment. Above all, it aims to be
reassuring and inspirational to families who want to enhance
their children's integration into French life.
The chapters cover various aspects of French culture and school
life and have been grouped together into three sections. The first
section - An adjustment for the whole family - looks at how
parents themselves need to feel at ease in their new
surroundings: on the one hand communicating in French at work
and with friends and neighbours, whilst on the other hand
maintaining their children's English language and culture at
home.
The second section - Education and learning - helps parents
find their way around their children's new school system so that
they may make the most of the opportunities available.
The third and final section - The Appeal of the French lifestyle
for young and old alike - reveals traditions, past-times and
festivities an occasional tourist might miss, reminding us of why
we moved to France in the first place!
Moving to France with your children took as long to write as it
took my children to complete their schooling here. I can clearly
remember the conversation - about ten years ago, when my sons
were both at primary school - and an English visitor first
expressed the idea that there were probably other parents who
might want to share my observations. He had been listening to a
typical school day of ours; of how one son had had to stand on
the teacher's platform in the morning and recite all the rivers in
France to the whole class and how my other son had to learn the
national anthem by heart for the next day. Neither boy had been
punished: this was everyday school work and typical of the
tough, rigorous school system for which many English families
are unprepared. True, our conversation verged on the humorous
because I explained how I had forgotten the tune of La
Marseillaise and we had had to ask our 80-year-old neighbour
whose out-of-tune rendition of it was simply unforgettable.
Nevertheless, the Englishman was so serious about my writing
that he suggested a list of newspaper editors to whom I might
write. So it is - many published articles later and with yet more
to share - that a book for other parents moving to France with
their children has finally come about.
