Moving house

[Dogzombie]

Hello
We are moving house next month which means a school change for my DC. DD is ok and excited. DS (7) who is generally more of an anxious child is terrified and upset and we are seeing angry outbursts from him. He doesn’t want to leave his friends or house.

What can I do to help him? I want to reassure him but nothing I say is helping.
Any advice?

I think it can often be down to the fear of the unknown. Can you ask the school if you could go and have another look around, visit his new classroom and teacher, meet some boys and girls, see where the canteen is etc. And take a few walks/drives past the new house and talk about it, decide how he wants his bedroom decorated etc
