We moved to a new area just before the summer hols. DCs in Y4 and FS have settled into their new school very well. DS2, in Y3, really hasn't. He is very quiet and struggles to make friends in new situations, but had plenty in his old school having known kids there since preschool. New school seems to be proactive - letter home from Welfare Assistant today saying that he'll have extra support 'with friendship and social skills' - but I'm wondering what else I can do to help him. I don't know any parents in his class. Any suggestions? Tonight he refused to eat dinner and was complaining about a stomach ache, and he just seems terribly, terribly homesick.
