[quote=Anonymous]Moved tween girls 45 minutes from previous home within the DMV area. It has been &gt; 6 months.

They are making new friends, but still see (and feel very emotionally connected to) the old ones. The sense of strong emotional connection varies on the other side. It is not always equal (this goes both ways). The old friends who are the most interested in maintaining friendship are not always the ones I’d have hoped for (one in particular was a mediocre influence and has poor sense of boundaries. She is one to give personalized artwork as a gift and FaceTimes with DD.) Some friendships I’m happy to see continue.

New friendships are with nice girls, but the strong sense of connection isn’t there yet.

How and at what pace do I help girls transition here more fully? I do host play dates. I’m tired of doing so much back and forth driving to the old neighborhood.

Any tips are welcome. I have networked with moms at the new school already, and I’ve managed to get each girl one week of day camp this summer with a new friend. [/quote]
