[quote=Anonymous]Well it's been a year and I think it can actually take some people - not just kids - to start to begin to feel comfortable in a new place.

I think we always talk about how kids are resilient, kids move all the time, kids bounce back, kids adjust  - but we never talk about the journey to was is resilient, what is bouncing back, what is adjustment so we get misled into believing it's something that happens quickly when in fact it might take quite a while.

I think it would be helpful to talk to a therapist but not just your DD but also you and your DH together to get a better idea of what resiliency and bouncing back might look like for your DD and how to support her in the process. It's probably a lot simpler than you both think. Having crying spells every 2 - 3 weeks might seem like a lot but maybe that's just her way of dealing with all emotions.  Also consider that as a kid, the move is the biggest emotional change she has had in her young life so when you ask why she is sad, it could be other reasons but at her age she can't quite express them so defaults to telling you it is the move because that is the saddest relatable event she knows.
