Adjusting in new places

[jackiereynold]

My friend recently shifted in another town for official purposes along with her son. She adjusted fine into this new place however, her son has not accepted this shift lightly..He stays aloof in the school barely speaks to anyone these days.

can anyone help me with a solution for her son. She is getting worried for him day by day as he is not eating well too.

Thanks for your participation.

Can you imagine how hard it must be for a small child to go to a strange place, have to learn a new district, and make new friends. It must be so frightening every thing different from what he has known. Try to help the boy to talk about what he is sacred of. When he is able to talk about his fears you can them try ways that he can slowly face and overcome his fears.

I hope your friend's son soon adapts to his new surroundings and feels more comfortable.

I think that there may be a good result if he was introduced to the right social circles - Maybe he'd hit it off with a new friend whom he can identify with and open up.

On the other hand, I think a bad experience may have a negative effect, so hopefully his initial socializing would be supervised to some extent.

These are just my thoughts on the matter.
