Boston Kids: Adjusting To The Idea of Moving

April 14, 2011 by admin

The idea of moving provokes a lot of emotions in kids. Some children are incredibly excited about the idea of a move: the thought of a new school, new friends, and new neighborhoods to explore make them super happy. Other kids aren’t as sure about the whole thing. The thought of moving brings out anxiety and fear, a reluctance to embrace change, and sometimes changes in sleeping patterns.

What can you do, as a parent, to help your kids get used to the idea of a move? Parenting experts have a range of advice, most of which boils down to communication. When your kids have an age-appropriate idea about what’s going to happen during the move and what they can expect from the experience, they tend to have lower anxiety levels.

When kids aren’t sure what’s going to happen, they don’t always ask their parents for information. They may ask their peers, or they may ask no one at all and turn to their imaginations for the answers. That’s what happened to four year old Megan.

“We couldn’t understand why Megan was so upset,” Mom Brandi explained. “She would just cry hysterically every time the move came up. We finally got her to explain what was wrong. It turns out she was freaking out because she couldn’t see how her toys and bed would fit in the family car – so she assumed that they were going to be left behind!”

Brandi explained the existence of Boston moving companies to her daughter, including the fact that Megan’s toys and furniture would be carefully loaded onto a truck and delivered to their new house.

“That cleared up the problem pretty fast – although Megan did insist on “Supervising” when the movers came to pick up our boxes!” Brandi laughed.

Other children may be having similar anxiety about the actual logistics of moving. Kids who love their computers, game systems, and other technology may worry about shipping technology safely Share information with them about the professional moving service you’re using and how they’ll treat your stuff carefully to help alleviate this anxiety.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected'. I can't thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
