Many families find themselves moving long distances due to new job opportunities or perhaps moving to be closer to other family members. Children may need some extra attention from their parents before and during this transitional time. When the discussion of moving first comes up, figure out when it would be best to begin talking about moving with your children. Try providing them with as much information as possible, depending on their age, and answer any questions they might have about the move. Allow your children to say goodbye to any friends, teachers, or neighbors before your moving day. The thought of no longer seeing these individuals on a daily basis might be frightening to a kid. Perhaps consider hosting a goodbye party to make this a positive and exciting experience for them. Overall, be sure to show your support with your time and attention during your move. Intentional actions such as cooking or ordering their favorite meal, reading an extra bedtime story, watching their favorite movie, or playing their favorite board games, all help show your children that you are there for them during this time.
