[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Truly social kids make friends everywhere. [/quote] This is not true. There are many social kids who when moved into a different school in middle school do not make new friends. My kids were extremely social and the center of everything. They made new friends wherever they went so I thought that they would do OK with a move in middle school. I was wrong. For some kids, [b]their social confidence comes from having lots of long time friends. They miss the comfort[/b] and keep comparing new friends to the friends they feel they lost or left behind. [/quote] You’ve just perfectly illustrated the point in my post. Go back and re-read it. I’m not saying kids like yours don’t have friends. I’m saying that children at this age can have had lots of friends in elementary school without really having developed the ability to make new friends. They’ve never had to try very hard before. This is uncharted territory and they don’t like it.[/quote]
