How To Know Whether To Send Your Child To Boarding School

How do I know whether to send my child to boarding school?

According to whether they are ready for it. It's a big separation. The child should be asking for it. They should be saying "can I board? I really want to be on my own and I really want to do these things." You should be clear that they are totally confident to do it. They will probably be much more happier that they are boarding, than you are of the idea of them going boarding. Some children, and I was certainly like that like that, are just not suited for boarding. I had a totally miserable time. I hate being away from home and you shouldn't do it for him. But others love it and you can't tell until you see the individual child and how they are growing up in that particular age. There's age to their boarding. You can get a boarding at 8, that was the old traditional age or you can board at 11 or 13 or 16. My son went boarding at 16. It was just what suited him.
