We are concluding our series of articles with tips from our long distance and local movers designed to help your children adjust to their upcoming move. We’ve discussed in previous articles the importance of preparing them for the move early, engaging them in the moving process, and taking extra steps to ensure a smooth transition on moving day. Today, we will offer some ideas to help your kids settle into your new home!

Settling into the New Home

Once you’ve arrived at your new home, it’s time to help your children feel comfortable and embrace their new surroundings. Start by setting up their rooms first. Prioritizing their space communicates that their needs are a priority and fosters a sense of belonging. Make the familiar elements—like their bed, toys, and decorations—the first things they see upon entering their new room. This will provide them with a reassuring sense of familiarity.

Exploring the new neighborhood is another exciting way to help your kids adjust to the change. Plan outings to nearby parks, playgrounds, or local attractions. Involve your children in choosing new favorite spots and let them explore. This will aid in making the new place feel like home and create a positive association with their surroundings.

Establishing new routines early on is crucial for restoring stability and normalcy. Children thrive on routine, so it’s beneficial to create a new one as soon as possible. This can include meal times, homework schedules, and bedtime rituals. Having predictability in their daily lives will provide comfort during this period of adjustment.

Moving with kids may seem like a monumental task, but with proper planning and a positive approach, it can become an exciting adventure for the whole family!

We’re continuing our series of articles highlighting some strategies from our experienced long distance and local movers designed to help your kids adjust to your upcoming move. Our previous articles discussed making sure your kids know about and can prepare for the move well ahead of time and also making them part of the moving process. Today, we will discuss more tips.

Smooth Transition on Moving Day

On moving day itself, it’s important to keep your kids occupied and comfortable amidst the hustle and bustle. Prepare a bag filled with their favorite snacks, books, and games to keep them entertained. Consider designating a space away from where your moving company will be working so they can relax and recharge throughout the day. This will provide a sense of security and routine during this potentially overwhelming time.

While you may be tempted to handle everything yourself, hiring a full service moving company can be a game-changer. Enlisting the services of a full service moving company can alleviate YOUR stress and help ensure that the logistics are handled efficiently. Outsourcing certain tasks also give you more time to focus on attending to your children’s needs and making them feel secure throughout the move.

Safety on moving day is of utmost importance. Double-check that hazardous materials, fragile items, and sharp objects are packed securely and out of reach from curious little hands. Remain vigilant of potential hazards during the move to prevent accidents. Proactively creating a safe environment gives you one less thing to worry about.

We are continuing our series of articles featuring some tips from our long distance and local movers on helping kids adjust to moving. Today, we will explore some more ways you can prepare your kids for the moving process.

Engaging Kids in the Move

One way to make the moving process more enjoyable is to allow your kids to be an active part of it. When age-appropriate, include them in decision-making. Show them different layouts or room designs for their new home and let them share their preferences. This not only empowers children but also helps them feel more invested in the move.

Another strategy is to turn packing into a fun activity. Create packing games or challenges that will keep your little ones engaged. Give them their own special boxes and let them pack their personal belongings. This exercise teaches responsibility and allows them to feel involved in the process. Naturally, you’ll need to supervise and provide guidance, but the sense of ownership goes a long way in making your kids feel valued during this transitional period.

Preparing Kids For the Move

Before moving day arrives, it’s important to help your children prepare for the big change. Open communication and addressing their emotions will play a vital role in helping them adapt. Take the time to sit down as a family and talk about the move. Encourage your children to express their thoughts and emotions, reassuring them that it’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Additionally, familiarizing your kids with the new place is crucial. Adjusting to a new neighborhood or city can be overwhelming, so consider various techniques to make the transition smoother.

Handling Fragile Items

When packing fragile items, take extra care to wrap them in bubble wrap, shrink wrap, or packing paper. Consider packing fragile items in a separate box and clearly label it as fragile.

Labeling your boxes is key to staying organized during the move. Make sure to label each box with its contents and the corresponding room.

Are you gearing up for a big move? Packing boxes efficiently can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition. Our next series of articles feature some tips from our long distance and local movers as we walk you through the best practices for packing boxes for your upcoming move. From sorting and decluttering to maximizing space and handling fragile items, we’ve got you covered every step of the way. Let’s get started!

Gather Supplies

Before you begin packing, make sure you have all the necessary supplies on-hand and ready. You’ll need boxes in various sizes, packing tape, bubble wrap or packing paper, and markers for labeling. Having the right tools at your disposal will help streamline the packing process and keep your items safe during the move. Among the items to gather include sturdy boxes, packing tape, markers, bubble wrap, packing paper, and any specialty items you may need such as mattress bags, shrink wrap, bungee cords, and storage containers.

Sorting and Decluttering

One of the first steps in packing is to declutter your belongings. Take the time to sort items into categories – keep, donate, and toss. This will not only help lighten your load but also make packing and unpacking much easier. Remember, the less you have to move, the smoother – and less expensive – the process will be.

The greatest compliment a business can receive is a referral. One of our valued customers who we have known and have been handling their moves for more than 20 years, referred us to their friends. The couple – both senior citizens – were moving from a beautiful multi-million dollar home in South Tampa, Florida. They had a lot of furniture and belongings and specified that they wanted to complete the entire move in one day.

Since we are a full service moving company, we were able to easily accommodate their request. We sent two moving trucks and five men to complete the job. The home had hardwood floors which needed special care. We put down runners to prevent any gouges or scratches and to preserve the integrity of the wood floors. We carefully wrapped and prepared larger furniture and items to ensure they were not damaged in the move.

The couple was very pleased with our work and tipped our moving crew $600 to show their appreciation for a job well done.

As we discussed in our last article, hiring a full service moving company to handle the logistics of your move can make all the difference.

As you go through your belongings, take the opportunity to declutter and minimize. Donate or sell items you no longer need or use to lighten the load. This will not only save you money in the moving process but also make the transition to your new home more organized.

When it comes to packing efficiently, begin gathering all of the necessary supplies as early as possible. Stock up on boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and labels. Ensure you pack room by room, clearly labeling each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make the unpacking process a breeze.
