We are moving from one end of the country to the other (almost) in the next couple of months. Our dc's are all excited about the move and yet at the same time worried about it. I'm concerned that once we've been in the new house for a couple of weeks and the excitement at everything being new has passed that they're all going to find it hard. My eldest dd finds it hard to make friends and comes across as shy at first, but isn't really iyswim - she's worried about making friends. We don't know anyone in the area except PIL's who will be half an hour away (that's a whole different thread though). DH's work colleagues are all at the baby stage and our youngest is 8 so we can't think of a way of getting them to meet other children. So instead of just worrying away here, I wondered if anyone might have done something similar and have any advice.
Not sure how I'm going to meet people either, but I can worry about that later.
