Family moved to new homeBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

A move is a complicated time regardless what age you are, however it is notably confounding and scary for your kids. All that they’ve grown up with is being tossed to the wind, and they’re facing down everything from leaving their old friends behind to having to figuring out a new school. With all of this chaos, they’re going to be under a formidable amount of stress. Being a professional moving company in Tulsa, we’ve assisted families move time and time again, and throughout the years we’ve seen ways that can help your youngsters acclimate to their new location.


Start by putting together a familiar routine for your kids. This should be pretty easy, as their house may be new, but their day-to-day should remain close to the same. They still need to get out of bed, have breakfast, get cleaned up, and everything else.

You should also plan time to swing by the school prior to their first day. This will allow you to sit down with the teacher and show your kids around so they can see their new classroom in a less stressful situation. Take them out to the playground and let them play on the jungle gym a bit. This will help them feel a bit more accustomed with their surroundings when school begins.

If they take part in sports and other similar things, find them a club or group that they can sign up for. This will help them meet new kids their age and make friends. It’ll also help them feel secure when they become an integral part of a team, allowing their transition to be much more comfortable.

The main thing is to just help them get out and meet new people while getting them accustomed to their new location at the same time. By doing these things not long after your move, you’ll be able to help them feel like everything is normal again quickly.
