Hi I am Laura, my daughter is 15 years old and now days she is looking very sad. After the transfer of my husband we came to new city. She was very attached with old friends and always remembers them. Now she does not go outside home to play with new friends. She is also going week in studies. I am afraid that she will not become a trouble teen. How can I help her?

It happens most of the times, that when we have to leave our friends or loved ones suddenly we experience difficulty in life. In children this intensity is very high. Your daughter is experiencing the same problem. Most of the time these problems solve as time passes. Encourage your daughter to make new friends and take part in outdoor activities. As she will make new friends she will be all right.

This happens with almost everyone when we have to leave someone with whom we are emotionally attached. Give your daughter enough love and care. Encourage her hobbies and interests. Try to spend time with your daughter. If that doesn’t solve the problem help of a good counselor may also be taken.

This is a common problem of most families who transfer to other cities. Because children are get close to their school friends and tuition friends, after some period of time they would go to another place. So I think it would take some time to leave those moments. Don’t worry about your child.

I would agree with my friends answer because I experienced same situation in my childhood. I suffer a great loss of my school friends there, so it had taken most of the time when I joined in a new school and got new friends. So I feel it would take some time to get rid of this problem.

Hi Laura, it is not a major problem that your daughter is facing. Many families shift from one city to another and these problems occurs. So, it will take time to settle down. After some time she will definitely get some new friends. You have to tell her to concentrate on her studies. Once in a month take her to meet her old friends. She will definitely enjoy it.

No, Laura your daughter is not becoming a troubled teen. It is a normal problem that children face after shifting from one city to another. You have to force your daughter to go outside and play with other children’s. Because this is only way through which she can enjoy, make new friends and forget old friends.

With change of environment, your teen’s behavior also changed. No one can attach with new friends very soon and no one can forget old friends. You have to give time to your daughter and play with her. You also motivate her to go outside and play with friends. I think, it’s not a big problem, you can solve it.

With time your daughter will forget old friends. It is very common problem of teens whose family shifts from one place to another. You have to send your neighbor’s home that’s why she will mix with other teens. Don’t worry about it.

Your daughter was so much attached with her old friends. Now, it’s your duty to make her feel the same as she was before. Try to become her best friend and share her feelings and emotions. Give her extra love and care and tell your husband also to do the same. Take care of her needs and pay attention on her studies.

Now, this is the time you can help your teen come out with her sadness. Take her out to play and get her engrossed in the extra curricular activities which she likes the most. This will keep her busy throughout the day and come up with her past. Also help her in her studies. Get her enrolled in a summer camp.
