Moving With Children - Some Great Tips
Informing Kids
When moving with children, tell older ones once the plans are definite
Kids need time get through things and adjust:
Do not rush their goodbyes to any friends
Do not keep the move as a surprise, leaving it to the last minute
Tell younger ones when the move is happening and involve them as needed as this will make them less frightened and nervous
Attitude and Moving with Kids
Adult moods should be focused and show a sense of adventure to the kids
Avoid depressed, worried or stressed attitudes as these produce negative responses from kids
Avoid kids fearing the unknown by providing all details necessary with an excited and upbeat approach, including what will happen on the moving day
Discuss the move, the community and new home
Encourage questions and the expression of feelings
Address all of the kids’ concerns meaningfully, attentively and lovingly
With younger children, focus on the present on the day of the move:
Encourage looking out for the movers arrival
Discourage frustration through play and fantasy
Encourage assistance by getting them to load wagons with light boxes to be moved to other rooms
Discuss feelings about moving through books about other kids moving
Be aware and prepared for unsettled reactions such as boredom and disinterest, helping them to deal with this through the discussion of honest emotions/feelings and assure them that disagreeing with you is acceptable
Deal with each kid’s level of emotions one at a time, whether it is sadness, nervousness, anger or frustration
Be prepared to deal with these emotions for some time after the move until the kids have settled in
Avoid generalizations with teens regarding their concerns and feelings by being respective, honest, open, able to resolve their issues and making no promises that cannot be kept
With teens, involve them in the move to avoid negative reactions, including responsibilities, decision-making and advice giving
Always make teens aware that their feedback is important
The New Home/Community Prior to the Move
Visit the new home/community with kids to ease their transition and see their rooms and neighbourhood
Visit local shops, playgrounds, parks, sporting facilities, movie cinemas, restaurants and other locations with kids in the new neighbourhood
Get kids signed up for activities through community facilities and meet the people they will be involved with
Take the kids for tours of their new schools
Introduce the kids to their new teachers
If the move is a great distance away then show the kids photos or videos of the new home and neighbourhood, including local kids, playgrounds, sports facilities, shops, schools, parks, restaurants, etc...
