Tips For Moving Children

Careful, Fast & Courteous

8 Tips To Make Your Move Easier On Your Children

To make the upcoming move easier on your children, you may find the following tips helpful:

  • Explain clearly to the children why the move is necessary.
  • Allow the children to sort thru their belongings to determine things that could be donated or disposed of.
  • Help them create their own moving survival kit filled with things they will need during and soon after the move.
  • Familiarize the children as much as possible with the new location, schools, parks, etc.
  • Describe advantages of the new location that the child might appreciate such as lakes, mountains, or amusement parks.
  • Let children participate in designing or furnishing their new room.
  • After the move, get involved with the children in activities of the local church or synagogue, PTA, Scouts, YMCA, etc.
  • Help children keep in touch with friends from the previous neighborhood through phone & social media.

Let’s face it, moving your children away from the familiar will be challenging. If you take the time to prepare them before the move, involve them in the moving process, and be patient with them as they work through their emotions and the changes, the experience will be less stressful for everyone.
