While the situation is not optimal, you may find it necessary to change homes during the school year. This can be especially tough on kids, who likely won’t be thrilled about leaving their friends and familiar sights behind. M. Dyer & Sons want their Honolulu customers to have a successful moving experience, no matter what. That’s why they offer the following advice, which can alleviate some of the stress of moving for your children.

3 Tips to Help Your Kids When Moving During the School Year

1. Maintain Your Routine

While they may claim the opposite, kids need routines. Many parents throw routines out the window when moving, which can actually cause kids a lot more stress. Do your best to keep bedtime, family fun night, dinners, and other important occurrences in place during your move. This will provide your children with a bit of comfort, which is reassuring when faced with a new situation.

2. Stay Positive

Whether you know it or not, you set an example for your children. Accordingly, if you appear stressed or anxious about a move it’s likely that your kids will feel similarly. Try to remain positive in front of your children, who will feed off your good energy. Also, working with a reliable moving company will reduce some of the pressure on you and your family.

3. Explore Your New Town Together

Once you’ve made it to your new home, take your kids on a guided tour of their new town. Places like museums, malls, or local parks offer many fun experiences to kids, and may also encourage them to view the move as an adventure. If possible, try to visit your kids’ new school before their first day so they know just what to expect.
