I am after any advice or similar experiences!
I've got a ten year old who has always struggled with change (big and small changes). We in process of moving house and she desperately sad at thought of moving. We trying to support her through it but nothing much seems to help. She just says her life will be ruined if we move (only moving 5 mins away).
She has written about feeling suicidal and is also showing signs of some distressed behaviour: being deliberately unkind to her friends and being controlling about her eating.
We can't stop the move now and am hopeful that it'll be positive in the long term. Any advice about how we might support her through it?
I'm trying to create spaces for her to talk about how upset she is and have flagged to school, especially in regards to the talk of suicide.
Thank you!!
