This Moving Guide is a big help for your preparation with your moving, on and before the day.

*Try to put yourself in your child's shoes - it's a big upheaval for them; they will leave all memories from the day they were born; the children will be scared to leave everything behind and then more scared to think what lies ahead for them in their new school and neighborhood. As the day of moving approaches, your children will feel worse and worse about accepting it.

*For young children in particular, even a short distance move can feel like thousands of miles! But try to reassure them that important people in your life will still come to visit.

*Make sure you make arrangements with their old and new schools as early as possible. The most important thing to do before the move is to get the school records of your children from their schools. It is better if you talk to their teachers to know their behaviors in school.

*Involve your children with the preparation for moving as much as possible. Sorting through with them which toys they want to keep and which ones they don't can be good fun and gives you time to talk about the whole experience of moving.

*When you're sorting through the toys, remember to leave a couple aside to keep in the days leading up to the move and for the moving day itself so that your child has something to keep them occupied.

*The best advice if you're moving locally is to have your children stay with friends or family for the day. You need no distraction on the day of the move so give some toys or food to your children so as not to bother you with their presence.

*If you're moving long distance, having your children looked after for the day may not be possible so by keeping aside a few toys and trying to give them as much attention as possible should help.
