Your children are the most important thing in your life, make sure not to forget about what they are feeling during this stressful time. This will not be one of their favorite things to do. They will be surrounded by new things, people and places. They will feel different emotions all over the spectrum from sadness to fear etc. You can take these negative feelings and turn them around by helping them and more importantly listening. Take these three hints. One, Prepare them for the move. Two, help them get settled. Three, remember their special needs.

Tell the children about the move well in advance. In that way they have enough time to think and react to the moving event. Though their immediate reaction may be sadness, as time goes on it can fade and they would be ready for the inevitable.

Be sure your children are sharing their feelings about the move. They are going to have anxiety and fears that should be discussed. Be sure they know you are also concerned about the move and your new job and city and all. They will feel like they arent alone.

If your children are older, focus on the prospective good things that come with the move. Dont get stuck on the negative.

Help the children prepare a list of contact information about their friends and people they care. Assure your children that their relationship with these people need not be cut off altogether and could be maintained. This will make the children happy and relieved. After all they are more loving than the grownups. Isn’t it?

Tell them about the new schools they will be attending. Show them the schools’ pictures. If possible you can let your children meet its principal, class teachers or counselor beforehand. If its feasible take them around the new area. This will help them handle the move much better.
