Easing the Transition for Children During a Move
Overview
Moving can be particularly challenging for young children, but with the right approach, parents can help ease the process.
Introduction
Whether you’re relocating across town or to a different state, moving is inherently stressful. This stress is often amplified for young children who may fear leaving behind their friends and familiar surroundings. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 10 million children move each year, prompting many parents to seek ways to make the transition smoother for their kids.
Expert Insights
In collaboration with Thomas Olkowski, Ph.D., a renowned child psychologist and author of "Moving with Children," Allied Van Lines provides valuable tips for parents to ensure a seamless move for their youngsters.
Tips for a Smooth Transition
Dr. Olkowski states, "While moving to a new home is exciting, it often means significant changes for children, such as a new school and friends. It’s natural for them to feel anxious, but there are simple strategies to alleviate their concerns."
- Communicate Early: Inform your children about the move as soon as possible to prevent them from hearing it accidentally.
- Stay Connected: Hold regular family meetings to discuss the move, addressing any questions and listening to your children’s suggestions.
- Frame it Positively: Present the move as an exciting adventure filled with new opportunities for the family.
- Utilize Books: For younger children, read books about moving and discuss the emotions shown in the illustrations.
- Create Closure: Allow children the chance to say goodbye. Consider hosting a farewell party where kids can create scrapbooks and photo albums with their friends.
- Provide Keepsakes: Give children address and autograph books to collect memories and contacts.
By following these steps, parents can help reduce the anxiety associated with moving and make the experience a positive one for the entire family.
