Moving With Young Children



Moving can be a stressful time for everyone, but it can be especially nerve-racking for your young children. Moving your child out of their home can upset their sense of security. This being said, here are a few ways that you can you help your child have a smooth transition into their new home in Boynton Beach.

Tell them about the move

Keeping your move a secret can be disastrous. From talking about your upcoming move to packing for the big day, keeping your kids involved is a sure way to make the whole experience considerably less stressful. Encourage your children to ask as many (uh oh!) questions as they have about your upcoming move.

Tell your kids about their new home, Boynton Beach, etc.

If possible, it would be good idea to scope out the kid friendly spots around your new home in Boynton Beach. Parks, playgrounds, and other interesting and fun places that you will be able to visit with your child can be a great stress reliever for both of you after your initial move.

Reassure them.

Let them know that even though they will be moving, your lives together will continue and they will make new friends. You should be honest and tell them that things may be “up in the air” for a while after your move. This way they will know what to expect, just make sure to let them know that everything will settle down after a while.

Keep the kids involved.

A great way to involve your children in the actual moving process would be to have them pack up their stuffed animals, toys, favorite books, etc. This is also a great time to get rid of some of the toys that they aren’t interested in anymore. Encourage your child to set the toys that they don’t play with anymore aside and donate them to a good cause. This can be a rewarding experience and can also help with getting rid of a lot of clutter before moving day.

Let them decorate their new room, kind of.

Your child’s new room will be their sanctuary. Help them get comfortable in their new home by letting them personalize their new space. If you’re planning on painting their room, choose a few different options and let them pick their favorite. Another way that they can personalize their room is with posters, a new light fixture or special night light, or a special banner with their name on it.

Glow-in-the-dark stars for the ceiling or walls instantly make me feel at home ;)

If possible, pack the kids room up last and un-pack them first.

The more time your kids have with their things, the better. This goes for moving out and moving in. Have the movers bring in the boxes and furniture to your kids room first. After the movers from Cheap Movers Boynton Beach assemble the furniture that belongs in your child’s room your child can begin to unpack the (kid friendly) boxes and settle in. This will also help keep the kids out of the mover’s way while unloading and assembling your things.

Hope these tips help you and your child on your upcoming move!

Moving With Your Pet

It may take time for you to get comfortable in your new home, so what about your pets?

Follow the routine.

Following your pet’s normal feeding schedule during your move will help alleviate some of the stress away from your beloved animal. If you take your dog out for a walk at the same time every day, it would be a good idea to continue with that routine as well. Following the routine that your pooch was on before the move will help keep their sense of security present throughout this stressful time.

Get new tags.

Make sure that you get all of your pets new tags with your new address and phone number on them. While moving into your new home, doors and gates may be left open, creating an escape route for an already curious pet. To be safe, put the new tags on right before actually moving into your new home.

Scope out the neighborhood.

Find out where your local parks, dog parks, and pet friendly hangouts are in your new area.

Follow this link for some dog friendly places in your area. Take your pooch out for a walk, but take it a block at a time. There are so many new things to see, hear, and smell, that you don’t want to make this an overwhelming experience.

Spend time together.

No matter what, your dog is attached to you, not just your home. You are your pet’s best friend, and spending time together while still getting used to your new place can work wonders. You’ll be able to see exactly what Fido is getting into and where (and hide things accordingly!), while being able to watch how he’s adjusting to his new home. Start leaving your new house in small increments to see how your pooch is adjusting to being in their new space ALONE!

Surround them with their favorite things.

Help keep your puppy happy by surrounding them with their favorite things! You don’t have to buy new toys, though I’m sure you’re best friend would love them! Toys from your old home can be comforting and fun. I would also recommend leaving an article of your clothing with them (on their bed is best) so that they can relax with your soothing, familiar scent.

Hope these tips help your pup adjust to your new home!

Best wishes,

Gabriella

Moving soon? Cheap Movers Boynton Beach has everything you need to make the move with your pooch as carefree as can be!
