Moving With Kids

Provide children with as much information as possible about the move and allow them to participate in decision-making discussions.
Familiarize the children with the new area using maps, photographs and related Internet sites. Talk about the positive aspects of their new home, school and neighbourhood. Encourage questions and invite children to talk about their worries.
For young children, make the move an adventure. Encourage them to pack their own things, leaving favourite toys until the end.
Resist the temptation to send children away during the move unless they are very young. Participating will help them adjust more easily to their new surroundings.
For older children who are leaving friends, sports teams and their school, emphasize how easy it is to keep in touch through e-mail and the telephone.
After the move, participate with the kids in local religious events, Scouts or Girl Guides and community sport teams.

No matter how well you have prepared your children, expect them to be a little upset. The emotional impact is greater for older children than for younger children. Watch for signs of depression.

Joe took the time the day after I called to sit down with me and evaluate my needs; he was sending me listing shortly after. I appreciated the straight shooting honesty that Joe came to the table with. I found him very accommodating and I truly felt he was working in my best interest. Joe worked some magic to find me a place that I an very satisfied with in a quiet community.
