University Moving & Storage’s Local Movers Provide Tips for Moving with Kids

As a leader among moving companies, University Moving and Storage knows that most families consider moving to be very stressful. Your to-do list seems to pile up quickly with needs in the home you’re leaving and getting set up in the home you’re going to. There are a lot of logistics to consider when moving out of state that our local movers at University Moving and Storage can help with. And if your family includes small children, one of the big items on your list is also making sure your little ones are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout the moving process.

 

Advice for a Successful Move with Children

Our local movers have seen families of all shapes and sizes make successful moves, and we know that some planning in advance makes the experience easier on everyone. We’ve put together these tips to help you make your move day plan.

  • Inform Your Kids of the Move - Kids of all ages will need your help transitioning to a new home. You don’t have to have all the answers for their questions but give them examples of what their new home or school might be like so that they can anticipate that change.
  • Keep Your Kids Involved - Talking about the move helps kids think through the upcoming adventure, and hands-on tasks can help with that too. Not only does getting involved help them understand more about the changes that will take place, but it helps them feel some agency and ownership over making those changes with the family. Find small jobs for them while organizing, packing, or decluttering.
  • Arrange for Care, When Needed - Before and especially during your move, you’ll need another pair of hands on deck so that you can manage your moving day. Have a few helpers agree to assist in advance so that you know who to call, and are sure of who’s available, before you run into any timing trouble.
  • Research Your New Neighborhood - The knowledge you gain before your move will help your kids feel immediately more at home, especially if you can show them where the nearest park, playground, or school is to their new home. Your local movers can even make some recommendations for a good pizza place to help on your first night in your new home.
