How to Talk to Your Children about Moving – Part 2

In our previous post, we discussed some ways in which you can talk about your big relocation with your child. When doing so, it is essential to approach with empathy, love, and understanding. Here are some additional ways in which you can discuss moving with your child.

 

Give them something to look forward to
Many child developmental specialists recommend giving your children something fun to look forward to in their new environment. This could be giving them a look at their new house via pictures or offering a fun day trip once you move. This helps them take their mind off leaving the old space and could help them become excited about the new house.

 

Encourage them to keep in touch with friends
Reassuring your children that their friends are not going anywhere is essential when discussing a move. Encourage your children to keep in touch with their friends in your previous location via email or through social media, so they are comforted that their friendships will not end with the move.
