Ways Kids Can Help During a Move

During a move, it may feel as if your kids are very removed from the process. Even older children can get pushed aside to ensure their safety, making them far less excited about the prospect of moving.

Are there safe ways to get your children involved with your move? Here are just a few ways to bring kids of nearly every age into the fold – and keep things easy on the parents:

Finding the New Place

If you’re still looking for a new house, condo, or apartment, get kids in on the act. Take them with you while you’re house hunting and let them offer their opinions on each location.

Donating, Selling, Throwing Away

Kids aren’t the best at getting rid of things they don’t need, but there are lots of ways to get your kids in on the clutter reduction process. Make boxes for each child to fill with items for donating, selling, and tossing. Once the boxes are full, take them where they belong – and take your kids out for a treat for helping.

Packing

Yes, kids can help with packing. There are some items they shouldn’t handle, such as glass decorations, lamps, and heavy items. But most children can pack boxes with their favorite toys, clothing, and other bedroom items. Once packed, you can help them label and decorate their boxes.

Cleaning

Many people forget how much cleaning there is to be done during a move. Thankfully, children of nearly every age can pitch in with this chore. Have older children tackle larger cleaning tasks, especially in their own rooms Younger children can help with picking up and tidying as the move progresses, as well as sweeping. Working together, your family can have things clean faster – and make your move easier.

Don’t leave everything to the kids! If you still need help with your move, contact DFW Fireman Movers.

  • Mike Z

    I wanted to reach out and thank you and your crew for the help and work they did in my move. Your guys were professional and very positive throughout the whole move. They really put me at ease and what I thought would be very frustrating day was a good experience. They were very careful and treated my stuff with great care. When they arrived I felt we were maybe not as packed and organized as we should have been but they helped get it together and packed on the truck. I was so glad it went so smooth. Please thank the crew and please use us as a reference as we are a happy customer. My daughter had used you and we were glad she gave us your number.
