Moving is a major change for all members of a family. Adult responsibilities weigh positively when keeping track of all the tasks needed to make a move go smoothly. If you have children, this may be a new time to focus on their problems and also one of the most important times to keep their concerns in mind.
Sometimes what seems like a major disruption to grownups is viewed as an adventure to the kids. Still, changing homes can also focus on feelings of uncertainty in the case of younger children. There are special concerns for these age groups.
According to ERA Justin Realtor agent, Glenn Elliot, “The most important thing a parent can do is maintain normal routines as much as possible, and when it isn’t possible, to let the kids know that concerns about a big life change is normal, too. Keep calm about the move yourself, and your children will be more likely to follow your lead. It is advisable to be open about what’s happening and how everyone feels about it, as it typically is a great adventure for them.

Bring them along when you look at houses, make them familiar with the new area you’re moving to, and investigate its attractions including the athletic or extra-curricular offerings that appeal to your kids.
Encourage your children to express any concerns and do what you can to reassure them. If you went through similar experiences as a child, you can share how you dealt with it, if it was easy, so much the better, and if it was uncertain, your children will know they’re not the only ones who have ever had to deal with change.
Try and arrange visits to the new school and meetings with the new teachers before the school year or semester starts. When you have more than one child, make bedroom assignments in the new house as soon as possible to avoid sibling strife. Comfort, privacy and age seniority are all issues of kid politics that it is sometimes easy for grownups to forget.
Above all, be open and patient. If you pay the right attention, you will be letting your children know that with the move, the most important people in their life aren’t going anywhere.”
