When families move, children can feel like part of them is gone. They have to say goodbye to people and places they know and love. In their new home, they may cry a lot and be clingy. Sometimes it takes a long while for the new place to feel like home. And moving is stressful for adults.
Adults can have lots of feelings about the move, too.
There are happy things and sad things about moving. When you help your child know it is ok to be sad about some things, your child may find other things to be happy about. About Moving Help your child get ready for the move. Help your child understand what will happen. Talk about what things will go to the new home and what things will not go.
