How to Help

If the stress related with moving is so difficult for adults, you can only imagine how much more difficult it can be for children. Changing environments and schools, parting from friends and even sleeping in a new room, these can all be uncomfortable experience for children.

So how can you help your children cope with moving, and the experiences related? Let’s take a look at a few simple things that every parent can do to help their children cope with moving and the mental pressures of relocation.

Talking, Sharing & Understanding

Those are three basic things that you can do and that can work wonderfully. First of all, talk to your child about how she feels. Be sure to show empathy. Even though your own grown up concerns may seem more important, your child has an entirely different world view.

The more empathy you demonstrate, the more will your child feel comfortable in sharing her fears and concerns with you.

Sharing your Own Concerns

Let your child realize that her fears and concerns are only natural. Stress the fact that you yourself have your own concerns and that the relocation is stressful for each and every member of the family.

This will help your child feel that she is not isolated in her concerns. Accepting the fact that such concerns are natural will help your child in coping and overcoming them.

Also, realizing that you too have your own fears, will strengthen their feeling that the relocation is a shared family experience, and that the family, as a unit, can handle it better together.

    Alpha was fantastic! Leading up to the move, they communicated well and were very accommodating when we needed to change our move date, add additional items, … More etc. On the day of the move, the 4-man crew was prompt and worked quickly and diligently to disassemble and wrap furniture and load all our possessions onto their large truck with care. We had many heavy boxes and bins, several of which were located in a basement down a narrow staircase. The crew had a great attitude and asked questions when necessary. Compared to other moving companies, Alpha was more reasonably priced and well worth it. I would enthusiastically recommend Alpha for any local moving needs!

We moved from one high-rise to another, which required coordinating elevator reservations and meeting tight deadlines, … More and they handled everything seamlessly. They were both friendly and professional throughout the process. I highly recommend working with them, and if we ever move again, I will 100% choose them.
