Helping Kids Adjust to Moving

Moving can be a challenging time for kids. They may have to leave friends and familiar surroundings behind and could feel anxiety about the unknown. The thought of starting over in a new school can be daunting for many. Fortunately, there are ways to help kids adjust to moving and make it a positive experience.

The full service movers and packers at 3 Guys Moving have some tips to pass on to parents to help their children better adjust to their new surroundings.

Help Them Say Goodbye and Keep in Touch

One of the hardest parts of moving for kids is saying goodbye to friends and familiar places. It can be tough for them to leave everything they know and start fresh somewhere new. If you’re moving to a new city or state, help your child say goodbye to their friends in a way that feels comfortable for them. You might throw a going away party, exchange email addresses or social media information, or send them off with letters or postcards from their new home. Staying in touch will help ease the transition and make them feel more connected to their old life while they adjust to their new one. Once you have completed the move and are settling in to your new home, encourage them to reach out and make new friends in their new community.

Keep the Same Routine

Try to keep as many routines the same as possible. This will help provide some sense of stability during a time of change. Chores, homework time, bed time, etc. should remain the same and carry over seamlessly to your new home.
