Moving to a new home, especially when it involves changing schools, can be a challenging experience for children. As adults, we often focus on the financial aspects and the stress of handling all the logistics that come with relocation. However, children primarily deal with the emotional side of the move, which can trigger feelings of fear, sadness, and even anger. It’s important to acknowledge and address these emotions because frequent relocations, particularly during specific developmental stages, can potentially affect a child’s school performance, emotional well-being, and social skills.
As parents, it’s crucial to take into account a variety of factors when preparing your children for a move. In the following sections, we will explore relevant research on this topic and offer some practical tips to help minimize the impact of the move on your family.
