This concern is about my kid who is 6 years old, he has always been very talkative and confident boy, he is good with speech delivery but off late we are finding difference in his behavior after we moved to different home. He now does not want to make new friends, even when we take him to the old society he doesnot mingle with old friends too
He plays with kids if they come to our home but doesnot want to go to their homes. He is just not being himself, we are not able to understand change in behaviour assuming it to be temporary phase. We have spoken to him regarding same but he does not give any reasons to it.
We dont know about school but he says he has made friends there.
Please suggest how can we help him as others are also observing his change im behaviour and raised concerns with me.

Hi, I am a sorry that you are feeling this way. I am sure this is a tough situation for you and your child. Given that the child’s environment is changed this response seems valid to me. He might take some time. He would also be missing his old friends and the familiarity of those old surroundings. However, please also check if there is any mistreatment that is being meted out to the child in terms of sexual abuse or bullying at school or in the colony. These are also reasons children withdraw.

There are many things that can cause a child to have tantrums, emotional outbursts, or unexpected behavior. These can include biological reasons, like being hungry or overtired. It can include communication issues related to learning challenges. It also can include emotional reasons, like not being able to cope with or describe their feelings. Their environment can also influence behavior.plz connect with psychologist for analysis

Hi... Did you guys consulted him before making this decision to switch your home? If not, try to find out if he believes you should have asked him or not. Changing homes can be a big matter to kids as they are in a growing age and they tend to be more sensitive to such things. He might have accumulated some emotions that are resulting in his changed behaviour. Also, he might actually be finding it difficult to adjust to this new social environment and may not feel like going back to the old one as well. Try to find out if everything is alright with him otherwise.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Child and Parent Counselling is required.
