Involve your kids in the whole packing and moving process to divert their attention. Kids usually enjoy taking responsibility as it gives them a sense of authority. Tell them to pack up all their books and games among other smaller items. With a little guidance, kids can help you weed out all the useless junk that is not worth carrying to the new place. For example, you can create a fun activity by setting up a toy store with all their toys and giving them sticky notes to pay for the toys they like the most. This can help you get rid of the toys the kids don’t really like anyway. Moreover, you can make the whole activity fun for them by using their obsession with boxes. You can let them play with some of the boxes, covering them with blankets to make caves while you carry on packing your stuff nearby.
