Moving with children requires careful planning and preparation to make the transition smooth. It is important to keep babies and toddlers occupied with toys during the move. For older children, regularly show them pictures of the new home and involve them in small packing tasks. Throwing a goodbye party can help children cope with leaving friends. At the new home, take breaks and plan outings to help children socialize and make new friends in adjusting to their new surroundings.

Moving with a baby requires a lot of care and attention. An organized and
well planned move can make the relocation easy for the toddlers.
3. Handling Preschoolers
We can keep the toddlers busy with new toys and assure them that they
shall not be left behind as they fear being left alone during the move
.

School
Children in elementary school find it disturbing to leave behind their
friends. It is advisable to regularly show the children the pictures of the
new home and acquaint them before relocating.
5. Handling The Adolescents
The teen reactions are completely unpredictable and must be handled
with patience and understanding. Sharing the burden of relocation with
them can be a good way to involve them in relocation.
6. Inform them about the move
Do not assume that delaying in informing them about the move
will make it easier for them to move. Experts opine that kids need
more time than parents to get used to the idea of moving.
7. Talk To Them
Welcome all sort of questions and do not chide them for
over inquiring. You will get an idea of their mental status
by continuous talking.

You can ask them to pack their toys and books. You can also ask
them to prepare a list of new things, which they would be needing
to decorate their rooms at new home.

This will help them cope with the stress of parting with their
classmates and neighbourhood friends.

House
Taking a break or a family outing can be planned to visit the nearby places. Efforts
must be made to help them socialize and make new friends.
