Prepare a hassle-free move with your children!

Sooner or later, everyone faces the prospect of relocating in their lives. The scenario is becoming very common these days parallel to which the moving companies are trying to go in hand. In this race, Agarwal Packers is known to be a strong contender as they have got expertise in this packing and moving domain.

However, before seeking professional help there are several other things that one needs to manage while moving especially when you have children and they are also a part of your move. Have you ever imagine how traumatic moving can be for a kid especially if he or she is too young to understand?

Kids need special time and attention during the transition and to make the things more understandable to you, I am sharing a few tips here:

• Making a move decision- Every kid is different from another in terms of values, understanding, knowledge, and nature thus you need to weigh the benefits that your child is currently availing with the ones he/she will be going through in the future after you have moved to a new place. 

In the situation where your family has recently dealt with a death r accident then immediate moving can lead to stress for your children. Though the decision is completely in your hands but you should give it a detailed thought under such situations unless your transfer is mandatory. And in case, if you are not happy with your moving decision but it has been directed by your office authorities then try to be normal and happy in front of your kids as it will ultimately affect their mood.

 

• Discussing move with your kids- No matter what situations you are going through, a detailed discussion with your children is the most important task. Thus, try to inform them about the moving plan as soon as possible as it will help them to get adequate time to cope up and understand things. Answer their questions completely and truthfully, do not give them any false reasons or negative reactions. Even if the move is for a better future for you and your family, kids still time to understand things.

However, the involvement of kids in the move related tasks makes the process really very interesting for them. They feel like they are a healthy and essential part of the entire move process. Also, it gives them a feeling of positive change and acceptance.

If you are moving across the city, try to take your kids to that place and let them visit their new house and explore the neighborhood too whereas if you moving to a longer distance, then provide them all the relevant information of the interesting places they could visit and the activities that they could do there. This will make them excited and enhance their mood and mind as well.

• Moving with toddlers- Kids younger than 6 may be the easiest to move, as they have a limited capacity to understand things. Further, certain ways may help you out:

 

• Keep the details and explanations simple with them. Do not try to mold them in your words. Just say it with love and affection in front of them. Also, you can share the good things about the new place you are moving to.
• Create a story to make them understand the relevance and need for such change. This will help them to retain and catch the conclusion efficiently.
• If you are moving to a nearby home then you must take them to your new house along with their toys and stuff.
• Ask the movers and packers to rearrange their stuff in their rooms in the same manner as they were before as it will help them to get the feeling of comfort which was present in their old home.
• Avoid making other big changes quickly. Utilize maximum time and wait until your child gets settled properly.

• Moving with the school-age kids- School going kids are relatively easy to be managed and convinced for a move. You just have to talk to them, tell them the whole thing, and then choose a perfect time to move.

There are two options one is to move during summers and the other is during weekends thus, to avoid any glitch to their routine and studies, it is better to opt for a move during summers. Also, do not forget to collect the documents, school leaving certificates, and other essential papers from the school authorities. 

•         Moving with teens- Teens usually rebel against the decisions taken by their parents and that’s completely normal. It is because of their age and hormonal changes that continuously poke them to say that they are right. They are the only ones who could make the right decisions for themselves. Also, at this age, your teen may have developed a social network, built up a new relationship which will ultimately stop them to understand the relevance and need that is attached to your move.

It is particularly important to let your teens that you respect their interests and value their preferences and it is the time when you need a favor from them. A favor that would possibly arise in their lives too once they are grown up. And this shifting is like a rehearsal for them, also allow them to visit their friends and neighbors after a certain period or if it is a long-distance then you must take the responsibility of taking them to their old friends and neighbors.

In the situation where you are moving during the mid-semester of your children then it is advisable to let them stay at any of your relative’s places as it will save the year from getting wasted.

A move has so many challenges, but good things too. Also, it lets you and your family grow together and spend some quality time with them creating a sense of love and affection.
