HELPING YOUR FAMILY EMBRACE THE EXCITEMENT OF RELOCATION

Introduction
The Process of Relocation
1. Start planning early: The earlier you plan for your move, the better. This will offer you plenty of time to look at various properties and neighborhoods and find moving services that can help make the process go smoothly.
2. Make a list of priorities: What is most important to you and your family when finding a new home? Make a list of these priorities and use it as a guide when searching for properties.
3. Visit potential homes: Once you've narrowed down your search, take the time to visit each potential home. This will deliver you a better idea of the property and whether it would fit your family well.
4. Get organized: Moving can be chaotic, so stay organized throughout the process. Create a timeline of tasks that need to be completed and have everyone in the family pitch in where they can.
Tips for Moving with Kids
- Start by talking to your kids about the move. They may be hesitant at first, but involving them in the process is important, so they feel like they have a say.
- Try to keep their routines as normal as possible during the move. If they have soccer practice on Tuesdays, try to schedule the move around that, so they don't feel like their life is completely turned upside down.
- Pack their favorite items last, so they have something to look forward to during the unpacking process.
- Make sure you have all the essentials for them – beds, clothes, toys, etc. – so they can start settling into their new home immediately.
- If possible, take them on a tour of your new neighborhood or city before moving day to familiarize them with their new surroundings.
Making the Transition to a New School
Change of Address
When moving to a new home, the last point you would like to worry about is your family's relocation. Tips to make it simpler:
- Give yourself ample time to update your address with all the relevant organizations. This includes your bank, doctor, school, work, utility companies, and other regular correspondents.
- If you have children, help them to understand why the family is moving and what the new house will be like. It can be helpful to show them photos or videos of the new place so they can get excited about it.
- Ensure you forward your mail to make sure you get all necessary letters or packages. Again, the post office can do this for you automatically.
- Update your contact details on social media and other online accounts so your friends and family can stay in touch with you easily.
- Finally, remember to say goodbye to your old neighbourhood! Let your neighbours know when you're leaving and exchange contact information so you can keep in touch if you'd like.
