The Carter Team's Thursday Trends: Kids & Moving
Over the years, many studies have been conducted to define and rank which typical life experiences cause the greatest amount of stress for the average adult. For anyone who has had to make a move, it probably comes as no surprise that moving ranks within the top 10 of the most stressful events and once you add children†to into the equation, the stress level only increases. We have compiled the following tips to help parents prepare their young children for a move and also help them adjust to their new home and community once the move has taken place.
VISIT NEW HOME
Take your children†to visit the new home at least once prior to moving day, and be sure to keep the visit short, and upbeat.
MOVING PARTY
Ask your child if he/she would like to have a moving party.
TIMING
Most kids make new friends at school fairly easily, but if your moving date is scheduled after the end of the school year, your child could be facing a long, lonely summer break.
EXPLORING DAY
Once the move has taken place, organize a "family exploring day".
DECORATING
Involve your children†in deciding how to decorate their new bedrooms.
Above all, keep the communication lines open - before, during, and after the move. Depending on the child, it can take anywhere from a few days to many months to adjust to their new surroundings.
