[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry to hear this is a surprise to you. All the best to you finding friends and activities.  A few ways that have been mentioned are 1. Church and church activities 2. Join in with whatever soccer, swimming, etc. other kids your child's age are.

3. Join nextdoor or your neighborhood listservs

4. Find out when there are events near your home block parties, 4th of July parades, etc. Then volunteer to help with one of those events are say you're new in town

5. Volunteer as a family for a fun run, or other such activity where there will be  A LOT of people.

6. Meetup - there are tons of family meetups on the site for all different kinds of fun stuff.

7. Your kid's teacher/school
Believe it or not, your kid's school has resources to be sure your kid is thriving. Being new means you get to take advantage of this to be sure of your child's mental health needs are being met. Asking for your kid to have a buddy assigned for art or gym or something for a few weeks is an easy request and not outside of the expectation of a new family. Some schools have suggestions, others would completely stink at this.
