Moving can be just as scary as it is exciting, especially for kids. They too are moving away from friends and familiar surroundings. They too must start over, and adjust to a new home, school, and city. Because they are so young, it is hard for them to express how they are feeling during this emotional time. As adults, it is important to be aware of how affected our children are by moving to a new home. Here are a few guidelines you can follow to help make the move easier on your kids:

• Tell your kids about the move as soon as the decision is made. Try to incorporate as many of their ideas about the move as you can. It’s important that they know they are an important part of the family, especially during this time.

• Give your kids a chance to discuss their feelings about the move.  Kids who are able to share their doubts often have an easier time working through them.  Feel free to share some of your feelings about the move as well.  This will reassure them that they aren’t alone in their concerns.

• Encourage your kids to keep in contact with old friends, while at the same time making new ones.  Help them prepare a list of phone numbers and addresses of close friends.  They will feel better knowing they can keep in contact with these important people.  Help them say good-bye to these people by throwing a pizza party or slumber party.

• Let your kids participate when it comes time to pack up their bedroom.  Let them decorate the boxes, and carry what they can to the moving van.  When you are unpacking their things in your new home, let them decide where they want to put things.

• Try not to pack items that your kids treasure, such as a blanket or a favorite toy.  Let them bring the item with them in the car or on the plane.

• Call the principal of your children’s new school, and try to meet with their teacher.  The school may also be able to give you names of students that live in your neighborhood. 
  
• Moving affects children differently, give them some time to adjust and feel at home.  With your love and support, they will surely flourish in their new surroundings.
