i know kids arent suppose to fall in love at 7 and 8 but my son and his gal pal are sure joining the broken heart club.
both children are the kind that do no get attached easy and have become really close. the little girl almost canceled her own birthday party at a well known kids play center because my son was sick. he had missed a full week of school because of his being sick and the little girls mom said that the little girl was so depressed that she just moped around all week. things got better because he was able to go to her birthday after all but then their hearts broke more...... they found out that both families are moving and not to the same area. for once they wont be in the same school. now both kids are refusing to move and are trashing our chances of selling by destorying the house on days of showings.
this behavior is being addressed but my question is..... if kids this age dont fall in love, then why is this break up breaking their little hearts in such an way?

It very well could be love.(In my opinion)
It is hard to look at kids that age and think they can feel something so strong, but some special little ones CAN.
I'm sorry for them. Maybe playdates and weekend sleepovers can be planned so the seperation isn't so hard on them?
And take alot of pictures, phone calls every day (don't think about the long distance charges...), maybe use webcams to see each other and talk.
I do believe kids that age can fall in love, because of how very sensitive they are. But heartbreak for them is just that much more worse because of the sensitivity.
(Sorry for my bad grammar today, I need sleep.)

They may not be "in love" but children this age do feel deeply and do get broken hearts. We are military, and our friends recently moved away. My daughter was devastated and distraught for a couple of weeks, and still cries about it sometimes. And it's going to be a difficult year because many of the people we know are moving away, and then we'll move away to a different place Do whatever you can to make the move easy, promise to get together with the family, and tell the kids they can write and e-mail each other. Make them each a matching photo book of their times together, leave blank pages so they know they can still add to it It will be hard at first, but eventually they'll get better. Good Luck.

Tell the kids they can keep in contact by email phone and letters.Perhaps its a good thing because they can move on and make other friends.They just feel deeply about things.

Well they are so young, they might not understand that there are so many ways that they can stay in touch. Allow them to get an e-mail, be sure to explain internet dangers, and let them call anytime after school.
