We are moving house in 6 weeks to a completely new city for DH's job. Mostly I am ok with it, it is a lovely place, lovely countryside nearby, much closer to our families, we can get a much better house for our money (currently live in London). But... I really feel for DD1 who has just started Y1. She is at a fantastic school that she loves, and has a lovely group of friends, especially 4 girls who she had been all the way through preschool and reception with. She started telling me today that her friends don't want her to move
How can I make things easier for her? We still haven't found out which new school she will be going to (sent off in year application last week) and it's unlikely she'll even get to visit it before her first day as we are moving quite far.
She is being brave but I think she will find this really hard and I feel awful for her.
