Moving School Age Kids

When your kids are school age, you might be tempted to plan your move for the school holidays or during vacation time. However, this can actually make things more difficult for your kids. School is most likely the first place your kids can be assured of meeting friends. Thus, moving during the school holidays places your child in unfamiliar and new environment at a time when their chances of making friends are low. As school resumes, your child may feel even more left out may feel like a stranger. Therefore, it is advisable that you schedule your move during the school year because it allows your kids to go from one social setting to another. The teacher and the other kids will be more willing to show your child some extra special attention when they are the only new person.
