Has your child's best friend moved away? As expats

Has your child's best friend moved away? As expats it is inevitable that our children’s friends will come and go. That doesn't make it any easier when you're left behind missing that buddy though. ‘The Stayers;’ the ones who are left behind, are somewhat under recognised. When the friend leaves, they will leave a big gap in your child’s life and the idea of a long-distance friendship can seem scary and difficult to adjust to. In our article (link in bio) a school counselor shares tips on how to help your kids cope with friends leaving Singapore.⁠
