Getting the Kids Involved in Moving
You hear mothers say they would rather give birth to twins then pack up and move to a new location. Moving is a stressful event for everyone, and the children are no exception.
Young school age kids find moving very confusing, and teenagers may not want to leave the comfort of their circle of friends.
You can help smooth the transition by getting them involved. You may be surprised at the cooperation you will receive with a little “pop” psychology. Following are just a few things you can do when the move is not long distance.
- Bring the kids along to see the potential neighborhoods you have chosen. They will point out things that are not available in the present neighborhood. They may even get excited.
- Walk them through the houses on your narrowed list, and ask for their opinions.
- Give them an age appropriate task on the day of the move. Watch fido, or get the lunch to name a few.
- Take them shopping for new items for the home. Have them pick out something for their room such as paint color, a poster, or a new lamp.
- Have a pizza party on the move in day. You will surely draw the neighborhoods kids.
