Hello, We recently relocated and my son has started a new school in year one. He is having some problems mixing with his new classmates. I do not know what the issue is or if it is even an issue! I am torn between thinking it is normal and takes time and then wondering about the other variables such as whether it reflects the new area and different type of people (from mixed inner city to more middle class suburbs) and we have made a mistake or aspects of his personality (perfectionist/never in trouble/ likes to control play but also excellent at sharing, empathy, lots of fun and vivid imagination, and taking turns choosing games, none of these are overriding traits rather I am trying to think and be honest about what I can help him with) which are more prominent/less forgiven when you are new than part of an established community if that makes sense sorry for rambling.... He was very well liked in his previous school and in other settings and whilst things are not always plain sailing I now this! he has never reported the rejection he seems to be experiencing now. Anyway I would love to hear peoples views on how long it takes to settle into a new school and friends to give me some hope/ pointers
