School-agers still have a very active imagination and may have imagined that the move would somehow make their lives wonderful. When reality sets in, therefore, they may experience a great deal of confusion, frustration, and anger. What you can do Scope out the neighborhood before you move. Arrange to visit the school before enrolling your child. Be sure to point out familiar places like the school cafeteria, library, and restrooms.
Kids worry about being able to find their way around.
Take pictures of your child, new home, and community and encourage your child to share them with others. A farewell party is also a good idea. A farewell party can help ease the pain of good-byes, make the move a concrete event, and help the child accept reality. Moving and your teenager No doubt about it, moving is difficult for most adolescents. Teenagers are generally very involved in social relationships.
