If your move is local, children may be able to visit old friends. Children can also introduce their old friends to new friends using e-mail. Don't forget the Post Office. Children can write to old friends, teachers and so on. This is a great way to communicate and a good way to build writing skills.
Children can make a long-distance phone call to an old friend.
Parents can help children understand that memories are a way to hold on to friends. Take pictures of friends and some of their activities. Advice from the School Counselors and Psychologists Remember that the new school is still a new environment for several months after enrollment. Show interest and stimulate discussion with your child about school. We encourage parents to contact their child's new teacher 3 to 4 weeks after enrollment to discuss the child's adjustment.
