If you approach the coming move as an exciting adventure for the entire family, it will help to calm your childrens fears. Just a couple of these are Berenstain Bears Moving Day by Sam Berenstain and Goodbye House by Frank Asch. To help prepare them further, you can choose from among many childrens books available on moving. Remember that your attitude about the move will rub off on them, so stay upbeat and positive. Be sure and answer their questions as fully as you can. Tell them when the move will take place and how their things will get from the old house to the new house. This will remove a lot of the fear and confusion they may be feeling. Do you need more room? Are you relocating because of a new job? Be sure to explain what will happen so theyll know what to expect. Explain why youre moving in terms they can understand. Tell your children as soon as you know youre moving dont spring it on them at the last minute. But, dont despair there are many things you can do to make the moving experience less scary for your children. It frequently causes them to feel apprehensive and insecure.
