Tips for Moving with Young Children
Making the Move Easier for Your Kids
Moving can be challenging for children, often leaving them feeling anxious and uncertain. However, there are effective ways to ease their concerns and make the experience enjoyable for the whole family.
Involve Them Early On
Tell your children about the move as soon as you have plans. Explain the reasons in simple terms they can understand. Whether it’s for more space or a new job, clear communication helps reduce their fears. Let them know when the move will happen and how their belongings will be transported. Encourage questions and maintain a positive attitude, as your outlook will influence theirs. Consider reading children’s books about moving, like Berenstain Bears Moving Day by Sam Berenstain or Goodbye House by Frank Asch, which you can find at your local library.
Turn it into an Adventure
Present the move as a fun family adventure. Staying positive will help your children feel excited rather than scared. Show them that they will be part of this journey every step of the way. If possible, visit the new house together and explore it. Let them imagine their new rooms, where their toys will go, and the fun they’ll have in the yard. If visiting isn’t possible, share plenty of photos to familiarize them with their new home.
Involve Them in the Process
Engage your children by giving them small tasks related to the move. Allowing them to pack some of their own belongings can help them feel involved, even if you need to repack later. Let them help decide which toys to donate or keep, reinforcing their sense of involvement.
Moving Day
Ideally, have your children stay with a family member or friend on moving day. If that’s not feasible, include them in the moving activities. Introduce them to the moving team if you’re using a moving company, so they’re comfortable knowing who’s handling their belongings. Encourage them to pack a special box with their favorite items?"stuffed animals, blankets, pajamas?"to bring in the car. This keeps them busy, ensures you know where these cherished items are, and provides comfort during the transition.
The Journey to Your New Home
Make the trip to your new home exciting! Turn the travel time into family fun, especially if it’s a long drive. Bring games or books to keep them entertained, and consider storytelling to spark their imagination about the new house. Arrive feeling happy and ready to embrace this new chapter in your lives together.
These strategies can help make moving a positive experience for your children and set the stage for a smooth transition to your new home.
