[quote=Anonymous]Let her express her sadness and help her understand that loss is a part of life. Give her time to grieve, then help her figure out ways to make new friends. Strategize with her about going back to school. Have her name other students she likes that she could make an effort to play with. Ask how it went. Ask if she wants to plan a playdate to help build a new BFF. We moved a lot when I was a kid, and my mother didn't really try to help me adjust. I was shy and it often took months before I would make a new friend. You can help your DD use this experience to build those skills.[/quote]
