If you have kids then you will understand the importance of trying to keep them entertained at all times. This can be difficult when you are undergoing a house move, not to mention that you also have to think about where they are going to go and even how they are going to occupy themselves while the move is happening. If this is enough to make you feel uneasy then you have nothing to worry about because there are plenty of things that you can do to try and keep everyone happy.
Get Them Involved
This sounds really simple, but it is so important that you do everything you can to get them involved. Children can be curious creatures to say the least and they may be intrigued by a lot of different aspects of the move. The best way for you to try and move with as little stress as possible would be for you to capitalise on this. Bring them with you every single time you visit a new property, as this will help them to become a part of the process. You also need to get their help by asking them to pack with you and even ask their opinion on how things should be sorted. Little things like this can go a very long way when it comes to the overall happiness of your child during the move.
Talk a Lot
There is certainly a lot to say about a house move. You may feel as though you are constantly having to reassure everyone that they are still going to see their friends and family. Young children often panic that they are going to have to leave things behind as well, but this is never the case. If you want to prevent this worry then go through their boxes, tell them what you are packing and even where it is going to go in the new home as well. You can even pack their items last if you want, as this will help them to feel more at ease knowing that it is 100% going in
the van.
Unpack Their Things First
It’s mentioned above that you should pack up their things last, but it may also help to unpack their things first as well. This way they can take their toys first and you can also help them to decide where it is going to go as well. Things like this may seem small to you, but they can mean a lot to your child, so it helps to work with them as much as possible.
Bedding
Don’t put new bedding on their bed right away. Instead, take their old bedding. It’s also worth hiring a quality moving service so that they can help your kids move with as little stress as possible. Of course, you might also want to help them with their familiarity by taking their old bed frame rather than buying another. Little things like this can go a long way.
