My son who is 10 is still very sad and cries often since his best friend moved away last July. I keep telling him to play with his other friends. He has completely stopped playing with his other friends and today again he cried and was missing his best friend. How can I help him in this situation?
Maybe some tribalism is at play. You can try switching environments. Try a youth league. Maybe switch schools.
Sad. Well tell him that skype exist, schedule vacation to meet together. It is a good time to teach him that friendship can happen even when the other is far. My best friends are still in my home Country and I could see them tomorrow like nothing changed. Good luck to him
That’s sad. I hope he gets better soon.
Its just a phase...will go away sooner than you think. Crying is not bad for health. Just support and distract him in every way you can. Take him to theme parks.
Aww... so sweet. Take him to a strip club to take his mind off his friend.
That's part of life. Everytime I'm thinking of moving, I feel bad for my kid, but then I realized, I don't have any good friends from I was 10. So, life must go on. His/her life will too
Let them FaceTime and write each other letters like in the old days of pen pals. It will take longer and give him something to look forward to.
Do they not have Facebook?
Facebook has policy on age. I believe it’s 13..or 14
