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.

    My husband and I have used Alpha for two moves—once from Manhattan to Jersey City and more recently from Jersey City to the Jersey Shore.
    The first move
    … More was during Covid, but Alpha was super diligent and professional. The second move was on an incredibly hot and humid day, and our movers still worked so hard and fast.
    For our second move, we also had to put our items in storage for a few weeks. Alpha made this super easy and had a thorough system for taking inventory of all our furniture and boxes.
    I can't say enough about how great Alpha is. We would use them again and recommend them to anyone. Their office employees are very responsive and helpful, and the movers are extremely skilled and professional.
    I've also found their prices to be much more reasonable than other companies in the area.
