Perspective: How to help a 9-year-old cope with a big move
By Meghan Leahy Meghan Leahy Email Bio Follow May 1 Q: I think I'm mostly looking for reassurance that I'm doing this right. We are moving several states away from the only place my smart, sensitive, insightful, lovely 9-year-old daughter has ever known. She's the perfect storm of her mom — smart, defends the underdog, gets her feelings hurt easily — and her dad, who is also super smart, a deep thinker, internalizes feelings and has high anxiety.
But here is your good news: Your daughter can weather this just fine. How can I say that with some amount of confidence? Because you are doing everything you possibly can to help her! Listening to her cry? Check. Providing her support at school with a counselor? Check. That right there is Good Parenting 101. And though I know it is distressing to see the tears, remember, that means she is processing all of her worries from school.
When you move, have a get-together in the new neighborhood. Reach out to other parents and invite their families over for some snacks and lemonade. Might it be nerve-racking? Yes, but it is worth it to reach out to your new community.
