Moving to a new city, town, or country can be an amazing, positive experience. However, moving can be stressful for everyone, including kids. They might not be part of the decision to move, which makes it difficult to understand. Young children feel safe in their routine, environment and structure in an uncertain world. Adolescents can struggle more while adapting to a new environment, new school, and building new friendships – all while coping with changes brought on by their natural biological development.
Preparing your children for a move and supporting them while settling into the new home will maximise the benefits of moving for both you and your children. It’s important to maintain a positive attitude to reassure them, regardless of the reason behind the move.
Talking to your kids about the move and giving them as much information about it as possible is another way of diverting kids from the negative aspects. If they feel involved in aspects of the move, such as house hunting and choosing a new school, they might be more receptive to the negative and positive consequences of moving.
