Children and house moves
House moves for those who have children, here are a few ideas to make to make things easier:
- Inform them about the impending house move as soon as you can
Allowing them time to plan and reflect will help you cope with moving with kids. Prepare yourself by encouraging them to ask questions regarding the house move, providing as positive an answer as you can. Tell them it’s a great question and you’re going to find out if you don’t already know the answers, then make sure you come back to them. - Inform them of the advantages of the relocation, the new opportunities they will have after your house move in a different part of Edinburgh. Anything exciting your house move will bring? Will they be attending a new school? Are there any new activities that they can participate in?
Include the kids in the planning process: ask them for advice when purchasing new furniture, selecting paint colors and selecting soft furnishings,. Involve them in designing their own bedrooms. Allow them to explore their new Edinburgh neighborhood by researching things like nearby teams and clubs, tourist attractions and leisure centres. Help them browse the internet if they are able to do so. Making house moves more palatable to your kids goes a long way
