We are shifting to a new place this week, due to which we need to change the school of my 6. 5 years old son. But he is just not ready for this change as he is very much attached to his teachers and friends. How do I help him cope up with this change?

Hi Anaisha Som I do understand your concern. When children are unhappy with a decision it does becomes difficult for parents too. You need to be firm on this and help him understand that why it's important for us to shift to a new place. Also let him know he can still be in touch with his teachers on phone and visit school whenever he wishes to. And for his friends, he can invite them home on playdates. Assure him he will adjust in new school too quickly as he did in this school too. Your assurance and support will help him accept this change soon. Take care!

Anaisha Som Your concern is quite valid. I would suggest you to take him to the park in the new area where you will be shifting. Help him make new friends. Connect him with a classmate who stays nearby and they can play together. Also help him connect with his old friends over the weekends in an online meet. This will help overcome some of his inhibitions and adjust well . Hope this will be useful to you .
