Moving Moving to a new home can be very stressful, particularly when kids are involved. Here are some tips on making the transition an easy one for you and your family. Every year, some 42 million Americans move to a new house. For children, saying goodbye to the old neighborhood and school can be tough.

And if moving is anything, it is a disruption of the predictable. Keep a camera handy to snap photographs of friends and teachers, too.
