Helpful Pointers for Minimizing Stress When Moving with Children

You have come to the decision that you are prepared to relocate! Congratulations!

Nevertheless, moving entails more than just packing and transporting boxes across town. Numerous aspects need to be considered, particularly when you have children. Given that children can easily experience stress during periods of change, taking additional measures to alleviate anxiety throughout the moving process can be beneficial. Here are some tips to facilitate a smooth move with kids.

1. Communicate!

Maintaining an open line of communication with your children regarding the move is paramount as a parent. Often, kids struggle to understand why they must uproot their entire lives, leaving behind kids, schools, and a familiar routine. It is also typical for them to persistently question the reasons behind the move, mainly if they are younger. By providing them with comprehensive explanations about your decision to relocate and sharing details about the new home, you can help alleviate their stress. Also, remember to reassure your children that their beloved pets will join them in the new house.

Moving to a different neighborhood entails transitioning to a new school, which means your child must make an entirely new set of friends. It can also introduce a new group of kids playing in the neighborhood, a different teacher, or new extracurricular activities. How you frame and discuss the move is as crucial as communicating with your child. When your child perceives that you view the move positively, they are less likely to feel upset about it. 

Remember, our children often emulate our behavior. Additionally, taking them to visit their new school or home can help alleviate some anxiety associated with the move. Seeing things firsthand makes them more accurate and tangible in our minds.

2. Arrange for childcare during the day of the relocation.

Certain children struggle with change, regardless of how well-behaved or adaptable they typically are. Moving and other significant life events can trigger them to exhibit behavior out of character. Consider asking friends or family if they can look after your children on the day of the move to help alleviate some of the stress associated with the process. Spending time with familiar faces can provide comfort and support during the transition. If you don't have friends or family nearby, you can explore local centers offering daily child care as an alternative option.

3. Take steps to reduce your stress levels.

As mentioned previously, adults serve as role models for their children. When you experience stress, it is likely that your children will also feel stressed. One effective way to reduce stress is to enlist assistance during the move. Attempting to manage everything independently is impractical, especially when moving with children. Hiring a reliable moving company like ours offers a valuable solution to efficiently complete the process without straining your budget. We can assist with the following:

  • Keeping your belongings in a secure, well-maintained storage area with climate control.
  • Handling your belongings with care while packing and organizing them.
  • Thoroughly cleaning your previous residence before it is occupied by someone new.
  • Arranging for furniture repair in case any items get damaged during the move.

    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.
