Moving House With Children
Children cope with moving far better when they understand the plan and keep some control over their own things.
Talk about it early
Explain what is happening, when, and what stays the same. Visit the new area together and find the park, the shop and the route to school.
Let them pack a box
A box they fill and decorate themselves gives them ownership of the move. Pack their room last and unpack it first.
Plan the day itself
Younger children are usually happier with a grandparent or friend for the loading hours. Older ones like a job, so give them a real one.
The first fortnight
Keep bedtimes and routines steady while everything else changes. Invite a familiar friend over early so the new house feels normal quickly.
