Children and Moving
Moving can be a sad AND an exciting experience.
Prepare the children for the move by telling them where they are going and what to expect.
Ask them to tell you how they feel about it and listen so that you may reassure them all is okay, not getting too flamboyant or over enthusiastic about it, keeping it real.
Kids can get upset, it is natural.
Ask the kids to pack their own boxes.
Story books are good.
Young children live in the now, and they cannot see weeks ahead. In a week’s time they may be absolutely ecstatic about their new room.
They might say they miss their old room, house or old friends. Tell them yes it is sad, but it is also exciting and something to look forward to.
You might have to have a farewell party for the kids and teenagers.
Let them know their support is appreciated.
Involve the kids in new clubs and activities to meet new friends.
Involve the kids in the move, don't pack them away too!
Keep life as normal as possible, concentrate on the new, positive, and excitement but understand and be prepared for a tinge of sadness. It is only natural, you may feel some too.
Life is made up of chapters, this one is finished, we open a new one, but we don't forget the old one.
At Christmas time or in the New Year bring out all the old photos, funny ones, family poses, events, parties and reminisce. In hindsight the children will see the whole year as ever changing, life as ever changing. But they, or you, as a family (or unit) are the ones in the pictures WHEREVER they are taken. That reassurance is what they are after and is necessary.
Plenty of photos help for separating families too.
