hello

DS1 was born in the UK in June 2003, we've moved to Melbourne in the last few months (we are Australian) and he's slowly getting settled. The moves seems to have really knocked his confidence somehow (he had a great little group of friends he'd known since birth in London) and I'm not sure how to help him through this insecure phase. He seems desperate for friends but when he is with other children gets upset really easily, doesn't want to share and just generally seems to be finding it difficult. He is generally very sweet natured and I feel really sad for him. He just seems a bity lost. Any tips?

I'm not sure if this is the advice you are looking for. My bubba is only 10 weeks old....so I'm not at the same stage as you!

But, have you considered joining a play group....one where the parents are there as well.....??? He would have you there as his "security blanket" and be able to interact with other children and get to know them.

Goodluck! Poor little fella.
