Moving from one place to another is depressing. It isn’t easy to pack and leave everything you are familiar with, and try to fit into a new environment. It is ever harder to get settled in a new place, leaving your friends behind, familiar places and your good old comfort zone. When you move to a new place, you need to find new grocery stores, new doctors, and new school, reorganize your daily routine, and reestablish the order of your life right from the scratch.
Moving is hard on everyone, especially children. To make them feel comfortable, just let them know in advance that everyone is moving, so they get ample time to absorb the news. During the stressful time of planning, organizing and packing for a move, many a times, parents don’t even realize how the change will affect their kids. So, be open with your kids about the move and try to find out how it is affecting them. If possible, visit the new house a few times, so that your kids get familiar with the surroundings.
In addition, it is important for the family with a child who has special needs, to plan out everything before the move. This is important considering the kid’s special needs of education and/or treatment.
A move can leave some people upset, and there could be enormous reasons for moving, such as:
• Parents may be obligated to take a job in another town or country.
• Sometimes death or divorce in a family can lead to a move
• Sometimes you make a move to look after your grandparents.

• Let your kids pack their own belongings, which they can decorate with markers and stickers.
