Why are kids so negatively affected by moves?
Fortunately, the results—like all findings in psychology—are more nuanced than that. One major reason that kids are negatively affected by moves is that moves are often precipitated by problems—like a divorce or job loss—that are tough on the family.
What happens to your life when you move as a kid?
Specifically, adults who moved frequently as kids have fewer high-quality relationships and tend to score lower on well-being and life satisfaction. Fortunately, the results—like all findings in psychology—are more nuanced than that.
Why is my son isolated from his friends?
His PC is all his world; he doesn’t talk to any of us, is alienated and isolated from me and his step-father, sits with his computer and online friends in his room 24/7. Stays awake until early morning, so misses most of his classes next day as he cannot wake up. We try to wake him up almost every day, but often can’t.
What did I do when I Left my Child in the car?
I left him. I told him I’d be right back. I cracked the windows and child-locked the doors and double-clicked my keys so that the car alarm was set. And then I left him in the car for about five minutes. He didn’t die. He wasn’t kidnapped or assaulted or forgotten or dragged across state lines by a carjacker.

What happens when a child is sad all the time?
In addition to moping, crying, and feelings of sadness, children can also become inattentive, hyperactive, and act out—yelling, hitting, being defiant or stubborn. They’re cranky. Fortunately, my son never hit those depths, but his sleep was spotty, his attention was poor, and he was just sad.
