First you will want to tell your child as soon as possible. This will give everyone time to handle the situation calmly. No doubt your child will be extremely upset about the move; it is our human nature to not enjoy change. To combat this problem you will need to make sure you do your research for your child. Have a lot of positive aspects about the move ready to tell them. Such as; your new school has a really good sports team or we are moving closer to the beach so you can have more fun. Anything that can relate to your kid will work in the long run. Don’t expect them to be open to the idea of the move for a while.
After you get your child a little used to the idea of the relocation, you can ask them to help you out with certain things. Have them help you pick out new things for the house, or maybe help them design their new room. Show them that there are lots of positives to starting over in a new place. You can reinvent yourself as a completely new person.
These tips from RC Mason Movers, Your premier North Boston Moving Company, will help you when it comes time to move. Please remember that not everyone will handle the situation the same way, and that you will need to be vigilant of the changes in their behavior. If they begin to become depressed about the situation, make sure to notify you spouse as well as the school counselor. Keeping everyone on the same page will prevent any long term problems with the relocation.
