Give your kids (and yourself) a chance to say goodbye to your home with one last hurrah. Let the child keep it close by in the car. When preparing to move, give your child their own box to fill up, decorate and use for favorite items. Bring home paint samples to see what color they’d like their room to be, and then turn this into an art project by pasting or drawing a picture onto a colored piece of paper and let them decorate their room. Let your child decide how to decorate their personal space. This will make them feel included, and because kids are usually honest about their feelings, may help you make a decision if you can’t decide between two houses or are on the fence. If possible, take your children with you to look at houses. It may be a bigger backyard, larger basement, or separate rooms for each of the children. Sit down as a family and come up with a wish list for what your new house includes. They may respond better, or even get excited about the process! Make a family wish list
Involving your children in the process will make them feel included in the decision, and like they have a choice in the matter.
Hopefully, you’ll have some fun along the way as well! Before the move Here, we’ll help you prepare your child or children for the move with suggestions for adjustment, including books and games to say goodbye properly. Children tend to be more sensitive to relocation, because it means moving away from friends and the comfort of a place they feel familiar. Moving is hard-and it can be even harder as a child.
