Don't despair; there are many ways you can make the moving experience less scary for your children. They often feel apprehensive and insecure as a result of moving. Make your kids part of the move from the very beginning. Don't keep your children in the dark about your move; tell them as soon as you know you will be relocating.
Explain your move in terms they can understand.
Are you moving because you need more space? Are you moving due to a new job?
Tell them what will happen so they won't be afraid or confused. Let them know when the move will take place and how their things will be moved from their old house to their new house. Answer their questions in the best way you can. Your attitude will rub off on them, so stay positive and upbeat about the move.
A variety of children's books about moving are available to help prepare them further.
You can check out your local library for more of these books. Make the move an adventure. For more information, look up Berenstain Bears Moving Day, written by Stan and Jan Berenstain, and Goodbye House, by Frank Asch. Your children's fears will be soothed if you approach the move as an exciting adventure for the entire family.
The more positive you are about the move, the more positive they will be as well.
If possible, show them the new house and let them spend some time exploring it. Make sure they understand they won't be left behind. Ask for their suggestions and involve them in the plans. Show them where their rooms will be. Let them see where the furniture and toys will go. Let them see the yard and imagine all the fun they will have. It may be impossible for them to visit the new house, so take lots of photos so they can get to know it.
Let them help.
If you talk about all the fun activities the family will do there, they are more likely to accept and even become excited about the move. They will feel more included in the move if they can pack some of their own belongings, even if you have to come back and repack them later.
If you don't plan on taking old toys, let the kids help decide which ones should be given away to other kids.
On moving day,
it is best to have the children stay with a family member or trusted friend. If this isn't possible, involve them in moving activities.
Introduce your children to the moving company workers so they will know who will take their stuff.
A box of their own can be given to them to pack.
You're on Your Way to Your New Home.
If you're driving, keep the trip exciting! The kids will enjoy moving more if it relates to family fun.
The kids will be entertained with games and books if you have a long drive. Maybe each of you can describe what living in the new house will be like.
