3 Questions to Ask When You Relocate With Kids

As an adult relocating to a new place is only a logistical challenge. You have to worry about packing all of your belongings, finding a moving company to help you safely transport it and ensure that your new home and your new job coexist in harmony.

On the other hand, for your child/children, it is a very emotional and difficult move. Uprooting kids from the ecosystems they built for themselves might even make them feel unsafe. In this blog, we will help you make this transition as easy as possible.

Prerequisites

● Change your strategy according to the age of your child.

● Ensure that you have researched about the new school

● Keep images of the new house and its surroundings.

● Do not spring this on them. Give them at least two months to process.

Reason for the move

The 1st natural question that arises is, “Why are we moving?”. No matter what age-group you are talking to never beat around the bush.

For kids (2-12), explain the situation the best you can without sounding serious and ensure you exude confidence and positivity. Teenagers are always wild cards, talk to them with respect and be very straightforward regarding the situation and the move’s circumstances.

Time and place

The next logical question that comes up is, “Where and when are we moving?”. Ensure you have this conversation well in advance.

Give them time to process this information and give them as much information about the place. Tell them about their room and what the house layout is like. It would be ideal to show them pictures of the house and the property.

Social life

“What about my friends?”. This question is difficult to answer regardless of your kid’s age. You could provide solutions like using social media and phones to keep in touch. Ultimately you have to let them rebel and calm down on their own time, and just be patient.
