Love them or hate them, they are a source of information, gossip and a venting outlet throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My kids started at a new school this year which meant that there was one blissful week of no parents WhatsApp groups whilst transitioning. But guess what, I actually went out of my way to connect with these groups as it really is my only contact with the other parents and my way of keeping up on what\u2019s going on. I have three kids split between infants and primary school so I\u2019m in three separate groups plus three class birthday groups (yikes!). I can\u2019t keep every detail of dates and after school classes and finishing times in my head all of the time and the groups mean that I can dip in, ask a question. Get help from other parents. Understand how things work at the school. These are the benefits of the groups (the negatives are discussed further on).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally these group chats are meant to share important information regarding your child\u2019s day in school, receiving updates and reminders about school events as well as sharing parents\u2019 advice. And most of the time these group chats can be a great resource and an enjoyable place to be in. In fact, not being in one can make you feel as if you are missing out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gone are the days when our parents (usually Mums) only met parents at the school gates. Fast forward to now and although our lives are busier (multiple afterschool activities and different working hours) \u00a0the way that we communicate with fellow parents has changed and we are now more in contact than ever before. We can even be in constant conversation with them if we so wish (please no).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/educacion\/2022-09-11\/autopsia-a-seis-chats-de-padres-bizum-es-lo-mas-repetido-en-un-colegio-privado-reunion-en-uno-publico.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">el Pa\u00eds<\/a> (one of Spain\u2019s national newspapers) published an informal study on the most used words in WhatsApp groups in Spain and regardless of the type of school (public, concertado or private) they discovered that conversation topics were similar across each but what made the difference was the children&#8217;s age groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3422 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8732.jpeg\" alt=\"Parents WhatssApp groups - Steps into Spain\" width=\"190\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8732.jpeg 1125w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8732-1000x1043.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8732-768x801.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8732-1080x1126.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8732-980x1022.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8732-480x500.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infants (3-6 years) group chats tend to be very active and unsurprisingly <em>el salud<\/em> (child\u2019s health) is the main topic of conversation. Who hasn\u2019t witnessed at least thirty versions of <em>Qu\u00e9 se mejore<\/em> (get better soon) hearing that Juanito has a runny nose. Pandemic times made these types of revelations quite tense! Another often used work is <em>regalo (present) <\/em>either for the teacher or children\u2019s birthday party. It makes sense that these chats are so active as it can be a lot of first-time parents who for obvious reasons are more anxious compared to second or third time parents. As children grow older, the groups become less active and once they hit secondary, they all but disappear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3421 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8790.jpeg\" alt=\"Parents WhatssApp groups - Steps into Spain\" width=\"181\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8790.jpeg 1125w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8790-1000x902.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8790-768x693.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8790-1080x974.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8790-980x884.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.stepsintospain.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_8790-480x433.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\" \/>Whilst there is no doubt that parents\u2019 WhatsApp groups have several benefits there are some definite pains. Regardless of age, some parents will endlessly discuss inane conversation topics such as type of <em>bocadillo<\/em> (baguette) to bring on school trip or whether or not school case \/ pencil case are needed for sports day, unfortunately the examples are endless. These serve to highlight how some parents use the group chats to micro-manage\u00a0their children&#8217;s lives thereby stopping kids gaining their own life\u00a0skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips to ensure that groups are a wonderful, helpful and positive place:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Behave in these groups as if you were in a real life meeting<\/li>\n<li>Only share information that is relevant to the group (Not Just Your Child). This means no photos of your child on first day of school, remember that all of our children celebrated their first day at school and we all think our children are adorable.<\/li>\n<li>Do not use the group as your child\u2019s school agenda. They are the ones who must take responsibility for their homework and any other school obligations.<\/li>\n<li>Do not write too many messages or answer each of them individually.<\/li>\n<li>Politics is definitely a no go area.<\/li>\n<li>Neither is it the correct space to openly criticize school or teachers.<\/li>\n<li>Be helpful. And most importantly, be tolerant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any others that you would like to add to help make these chat groups better places?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not hesitate to get in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/stepsintospain\/intro\">touch<\/a>\u00a0if you would like my assistance as you begin your search for the right school for your child in Madrid.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re planning a move to Spain and trying to make sense of schools in Madrid, there are a few ways to get started \u2014 depending on where you are in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some families begin with a clear overview of how the system works.
