We moved house over the summer (for DH job) and my 8 year old DD has struggled to make friends. This has been compounded by being in a tier that means we can't mix households so no play dates - we've only had half a term to meet classmates so haven't got to know anyone well enough to take their kids to the park etc. Now lockdown and her favourite sports club cancelled.
She howls crying and screaming, saying she has no friends and in utter distress her hobby is being stopped.
She used to be so happy and confident.
How do I explain? She's only seen grandparents once in last 12 months because of COVID so it's not like I can say it's preserving them/that relationship, there's not much relationship left. I'm just so sad for her.
