Help!!! A little back ground I have just moved in with my boyfriend of 12months we moved to a new town away from friends and family. My little boy has just started grade 1 at a new school. At his last school he was one of the best behaved students in his class. This year he is a "naughty kid" I'm looking for advice on how to help him get back to his normal school loving self.

What did you expect will happen when you move a child from his family and friends and everything he has known till now. People like you should be putting your child first and considering his needs instead of your own and not be moving in with your boyfriend in a different town. And then you wonder why your child is acting up, not behaving and upset and sad. You have just turned his world upside down. If your boyfriend cared about you and your child he would not have wanted you and your child to to move for him. Instead he would have shown how much he cared for you by moving in with you and not taking your child away from his comfort zone. There may be be a lot of people that will not agree with my comments giving the excuse that kids adjust and are resilient but you have the proof right before your eyes and see what happens. Looks like now that you have made the move you need to stick it out and if it does not work out for YOUR CHILD, not you. Move back and take him back to his happy place. Or you can cut your loses now and move back before things get worse. What will you do when your relationship breaks up? You will have to move again? I think uprooting your child to be with a boyfriend is always the wrong thing to do, especially if your child is happy and comfortable where he is.
