Moving to a new home can be a challenging time, but when your \nhousehold includes children, that challenge can be magnified. From \nleaving behind friends to experiencing a new neighborhood, children \ntypically have a lot of concerns when it comes to a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are a few things you can do in the weeks leading up to a move as\n well as moving day itself, to ensure a smoother transition for every \nmember of the household:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use a brightly colored binder with sleeve protectors to keep copies \nof all your important papers, such as birth certificates and rental or \nmortgage agreements. The bright color will help keep the binder within \neasy sight and you will feel much more organized during moving day and \nthe days surrounding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the months and weeks leading up to a move, clean closets and get \nrid of clutter. Donate unused items or make a bit of change by selling \nthem on eBay. Younger household members can be guided into giving up \ntoys that no longer fit their age or hold their interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both quart- and gallon-sized plastic bags with zip closure can be \nextremely useful in keeping smaller items sorted. Every family member \ncan use a supply of plastic bags in both sizes. Encourage children to \nbegin organizing their things in the weeks leading up to the move. The \nsee-through characteristic of the baggie make unpacking and organizing \nall these small items a snap at your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unless you don\u2019t have a DVD player, speakers or gaming console, you \nwill probably want to get a quick picture of the wires running in and \nout of your television and other electronics. Those pictures will be \ninvaluable when you are ready to set up your entertainment area in your \nnew home to keep kids occupied while you unpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Select new activity and childcare providers well ahead of your moving\n day and then have the proper applications completed and returned. This \nenables children to get into their new routine without further \ninterruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look for a new pediatrician, dentist and other healthcare providers \nin your new area if you are moving too far to continue with the current \nclinics. Be sure to have all healthcare records transferred. While it is\n unlikely someone will get injured or seriously ill on moving day, you \ndo not want to be scrambling to find a doctor in the middle of a minor \nemergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember that moving time is a stressful one for younger members of \nthe household as well. Ease the anxiety of leaving old friends behind \nand venturing into unknown territory by throwing a going away party for \nthe family. Children can invite their closest friends, while adults have\n one more opportunity to socialize before heading down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
