How do I make the move easier on
my kids?
In all of the hustle and bustle, parents
sometimes overlook the children, who are very concerned
about the upcoming move. For children (and teenagers)
a move means leaving everything that is important: their
home, their school, their teams and clubs, and their
friends. They are not normally involved in the decision
to move, and many times do not understand the necessity
to move. It's a frightening prospect.

Important things to keep in mind:
|
|
| It is not unusual for children to
show signs of stress, such as problems sleeping, anxiety,
and lack of appetite. |
| Children need time to deal with feelings
of loss or separation and the more time they have the
better. Tell your children as soon as you can. |
| Explain in simple terms why the move
is necessary. Make it short and positive, without overselling
– children often know when a parent is masking negative
feelings. |
| As the children become used to the
idea of moving, tell them about their new home and what
they might expect to find there. |
| Encourage open communication. Let
children talk about their feelings. Reassure them their
feelings are normal. |
| Attachments are strong, even at a
young age. It may take some time for a child to let go. |
| Involve your children in the move.
Ask for their opinions and suggestions. Their point of
view may provide insight into their true feelings. |
| Get them involved. Give them their
own to-do lists so they can be a part of the process. |
|
| Most people plan their move to coincide
with the end of the school year. Child psychologists,
however, suggest moving at least a month before the end
of the school year so that they can make new friends before
the long summer break. Children adapt much better when
they have a circle of friends and some routine. |
