What are the Effects of Moving on Young Children?

One of the groups of people that you may have to deal with during the move are your kids that are not quite a teen yet. This can be a toddler all the way to 10 or eleven years old. They are a group that can really feel bad about leaving all the things that the love. They might be leaving their first best friend that they do sleep overs with and sit with at the lunch table. This age group usually will be sad about the move but can be motivated if you know what to do. You want to talk to them about the fun things that come with the move. You can let them know about the school, kids and activities that are around the new house. They can be given ideas on how to make their new room special. You can also make sure that you get the address of a few of the best friends so they can send a card to them when they are feeling sad about leaving.
