Storage/Moving Tips

Preparing Your Children

The following tips often help children adjust before, during, and after a family relocates.

  • Include children in making plans for the move. For example, take them house-hunting with you.
  • Help your children learn about the new area.
  • Through play-acting with dolls, boxes and a wagon, children can get a feeling of "moving".
  • Let the children help decide how their new rooms are to be arranged and decorated.
  • Encourage children to exchange addresses and phone numbers with their friends.
  • Prepare a package for each child containing snacks, some clothing, and a few favorite toys for the move.
  • Take a "family break" as soon as the major unpacking is done. Don't try to do everything immediately upon arrival at your new home.
  • Parents should spend time after the move listening to each child about new schools and new friends.
  • Follow progress in new schools. Accompanying your children to school the first few days may ease tension.
  • If your move involves suburban to rural, or vice versa, caution children about new situations they may face.
