Moving with children can be tedious, frustrating, difficult and tiring. It can also be inspiring.
Moving is a great opportunity to form stronger bonds with your child and experience new things together. Here are the top 10 things you should do when moving with children:
- Tell them you’re moving as soon as possible.
- Take them out to their favorite restaurant, even if it’s Chuck-E-Cheese.
- Let them help pick out your home – take their choice into the top three finalists before cutting it.
- Enlist them to help pack and load if they’re old enough.
- Buy them a toy or souvenir of your old hometown.
- Let them have a going away party with friends.
- Take them to the nearest waterpark, arcade or playground right after you move.
- Show them pictures of your new hometown. Have these be cool-looking pictures.
- Let them have an old friend come visit your new home with some sleep over action.
- Understand moving will be hard on them.
