Special Considerations Must Be Taken When Moving Part 2
In the last installation we discussed the fact that your move will affect every member of your family. We also looked at ways to make it easier for your children to go through the moving process and discussed different ways to make your move as easy as possible. In this installment we will continue to look at ways to make your move as pain free as possible for your children and other family members.
Give As Much Information To Your Children As Possible To Help Make The Move Easier
- Encourage your children or other family members to talk about their feelings regarding the move and openly discuss the different aspects of the move with them.
- Stay positive about the move and the new property to help them feel assured and confident about it. If they hear fear or doubt from you they will pick that up and will be fearful or even angry about the move.
- Be as truthful as possible about the move. Do not tell your children lies about the new home or neighborhood to make them happy. This will only lead to resentful feelings and a sense of distrust and despair once the move has taken place.
- Involve your children as much as possible in the moving process, from packing to unpacking. Let them feel like they are helping you.
- Keep your children with you as much as possible on moving day. It may be more difficult for you but it will help them to feel more comfortable and secure and less unsure about their future.
- Get help for your move. Using a removal or moving company can help to reduce the amount of stress that you have and leave you with more time to devote to your children and addressing their worries or concerns.
