Moving can be a challenging experience, especially when children are involved. Young children can be anxious about the changes, so it is essential to plan ahead to make the transition as smooth as possible. At SIT Spain, we understand the difficulties and offer you some key tips to make moving home with children less stressful.
- Talk to them about the change: Explaining to them what is happening can help reduce uncertainty. Be sure to talk to them in a positive way about the new home and environment.
- Involve them in the process: Allowing children to participate in the move, such as packing their own toys or decorating their new room, will give them a sense of control and excitement about the change.
- Keep a consistent routine: Even if the move is chaotic, try to maintain some daily routines to provide stability. Whether it's bedtime or playtime, this will help them feel secure.
- Prepare a backpack of essentials: During the move, make sure children have access to their favorite items, such as toys, books or blankets. This will provide comfort in the midst of the transition.
- Explore the new neighborhood together: Once in the
new home, taking a walk around the neighborhood and discovering nearby parks, stores or activities together will help children become familiar with their surroundings.
