How Do I Tell My Children We are Moving?

Moving is often an unknown for children; it’s a new process and one that they often feel is out of their control. When the time comes for you to tell your children about your family’s upcoming relocation, there are a few methods that you can implement into the conversation to help encourage a positive response. This article delves further into the process of telling your children that the family is moving.

Tell Them Early

Your children should be among the first to know about the move. While they have no real choice in the matter, the act of sharing this information with them early on in the process will give them time to adjust to the idea of relocating and express their hesitancies.

Establish a Family-Meeting

If at all possible, have this conversation in a private area. Not only will this allow your child to express their feelings freely, but it will encourage a communal discussion. This also provides you the opportunity to explain the reasons behind the move, as well as a establish a positive tone that encourages openness in the conversation rather than a be-all and end-all approach to the topic.

Give your children your as much attention as possible during this process by hiring a full-service moving company.
