Letting your kids participate in the pre-planning activities

by Erica Beiser

Keep in mind, that the moving process for small children rates right up there with green beans!! You have to make it fun, a new experience, an adventure!! Fortunately, there are lots and lots of things that need tending to when moving.

Let your children sort through their toys and pick the ones that they can donate. When you make the trip to the donation site, let the kids lead the way – it makes them feel important.

Let your kids pick the color of their new room, it’s only paint!! Or better yet a theme, like baseball, dinosaurs, or princesses.

Try to get your kids hyped up about all the “new” stuff in their new town. And best of all, their new school! All chilren love to play with new kids. Try to get as much information about activites in your new area. You may be able to get further information from your move coordinator at Barrett Moving and Storage.

Children adjust rather well to moving, as long as they are reassured that with change will get for the better, and that soon enough everything will go back to normal. Smile and Happy moving.
