How to Help Your Child Move Helping Children With a Move ' Show the children the new home and their new room prior to moving. If this is not possible, pictures or videos will help them visualize where they are going. ' Assure children that you won't forget their friends. ' Make a scrap book of the old home and neighborhood. ' Throw a good-bye party. At the party have their friends sign a tee shirt. ' Have your children write good-bye letters and enclose their new address. You may wish to call the other children's parents so they will encourage return letters. ' When packing, give them their own box. They can decorate it so they know which one it is. ' If you move far away buy postcards when you stop so they can remember the trip. ' When unpacking, allow them to unpack their treasures then, have them play with the boxes while you unpack. ' Start a scrap book for their new home. Include a diary of My first... ' Visit their new school, park, church etc... Take a camera. ' Help your children invite new friends over to the house. ' Let them choose a new favorite restaurant. This will help them feel in control of their new world. ' Encourage them to send letters about their new home, to their friends. ' Involve your children in groups, sports, and activities like the ones they used to participate in. ' Remember even if you only lived in a home a few years to a young child it is nearly their entire lifetime! Contact Valerie for any additional questions!
