Golan's Moving Tips - Helping Your Kids About Moving

When you and your family moves to a new place, it can be an exciting experience. However, it can also become stressful for your child or children. After all, they will be leaving behind memories, and not to mention the friends that they have been together with for a long time. They can also be scared about going to a new school and they can even be anxious about meeting new people.

As a parent, there are several things that you can do to help your kids cope with the upcoming move. Supporting them through what may be one of the toughest times of their early lives is part of your responsibility.

HELPING YOUR KIDS MOVE AS TOLD BY GOLAN'S MOVERS

There are some things to do in order to help your children even before the move.

First of all, get as much information about the new place as possible. Tell your kids about the new places they can visit and about the sights to see. Also, if possible, tell your kids about the move months before it happens. This will especially be helpful for kids that are already going to school. This will allow ample time for them to adjust with their friends.

Do not forget to always share information about your new home to your child. When and if possible, take them for a trip to the new home and allow them to visit some of the sights. Let them get a firsthand experience on the new neighborhood and environment.

You can also let them visit their new school.

When moving day draws near, allow your child to go out with their friends or let them have a goodbye/moving party. Let them do the planning or help them out. Furthermore, assure your child that they will have every chance they can get to keep in touch with their friends even when the family will be living far away.

When you arrive at your new place, have your child have complete freedom of how they want to decorate their room. Tell them it will be their special place inside the house. You can also give some ideas on where to go first in the area once you've all settled in.

Encourage them to keep in touch with friends and family that are living in the area where you once lived. Do not forget to listen to your child's feelings all the time. And lastly, always be there for them.

Golan’s Movers Tells You How to Make Moving Happier

Many people do not like the idea of moving; perhaps it is because of job-related reasons. Because if your boss says you have to go to another branch, then you have to go.

While it can be quite the pleasant experience to take a hold of brand new cultures in a new environment, the whole process of moving is very tiring. There are many things to consider, such as purchasing supplies and how are you going to lift the boxes to the moving vehicle. Things like these are enough to greet anyone’s mornings with a painful headache.

Nevertheless, there are ways to help you get through with this endeavor and make things a bit more pleasant on your part.

HOW TO HAVE A HAPPIER MOVING EXPERIENCE AS TOLD BY GOLAN’S MOVERS

1.       Have an emotional first-aid kit at the ready.

No, we’re not talking about bandages and healing ointments; we’re talking about things that can comfort you when you’re feeling really stressful. Grab a slice of pizza and heat it in the oven, or take a bite of that rich, luscious chocolate in your fridge, or sitting in your favorite recliner – these things are bound to help you relax, even for a bit, when all the hustle-and-bustle of relocating is brought upon your shoulders.

2.       Play your favorite music while working.

Music is one of the gateways to the soul. It has a magical effect on people that allows us to work harder, and even better. Fan of jazz or alternative rock? Classical or Western? No matter what musical genre you like, play it on your favorite music player while you’re working with packing and sorting your items and furniture. With the music on, you wouldn’t even notice how much work you’re getting done.

3.       Take your time.

But not too much time. Do things one at a time; or better yet, prepare a checklist on what needs to be done. Cross out the items on the list one-by-one, and don’t move on to the next item until the item prior to that is finished. This will let you stay organized, and it will avoid you from running all over the place in distress.

4.       Leave the moving to Golan’s Moving & Storage.

Want a completely hassle-free moving experience? Then Leave everything to the pros at the first hint that you’re about to move. Leave it to Golan’s Movers to help you from the packing to the actual delivery. This way, you no longer have to think about anything else but how you’re going to enjoy your new place.
