[QUOTE="Malika, post: 440115, member: 11227"] Yes, one can understand your son's resistance and upset. It's going to be a difficult transition period and in all honesty there's probably no way you can totally eliminate that. Riding his bike to see grandma... it's understandable he would be attached to that, and it must be threatening and anxiety-making to him to have all this taken away. The idea of familiarising yourself as much as possible with the new place does seem like a good one and perhaps part of the "transition work" you will have to do. Also talking about the move as much as possible, letting him air his feelings about it? Once you've taken the plunge, of course, he will gradually get used to the change - and maybe eventually be as thoroughly attached to the new place as he is to the present one. Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
