Helping Your Children Adjust To The Move
Whether you are moving because of a job change, or because of a major life change such as divorce or death, helping your children adjust to the move is challenging, doable, and can make a world of difference for your entire family.
In our continued effort to help you with the stress of moving here’s an article from Kid’s Health outlining how to give your kids special attention during the transition.
Here are several things you can do to help your children. Keeping a positive attitude, during times of transition, a parent’s moods and attitudes can greatly affect kids, who may be looking for reassurance. Also, talking about the move, no matter the circumstances, is the best way to help your children prepare.
If you are moving far, try to give them as much information as possible, allow them to ask questions and accept their reactions to the answers. If you are moving across town, then take the kids often, explore the neighborhood, visit the school. Making kids part of the planning will help them feel connected and heard.
