Moving can be a hectic experience for every member of your family, but especially for young children. Packing your belongings up into boxes can be scary! While some of us might be excited by the opportunity of a fresh start in a new place, kids will often focus on what they\u2019re losing rather than what they have to gain from the change of scenery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t forget you will need help. Especially if you are moving long-distance, it\u2019s essential to use a reputable and insured moving company that handles this type of relocation. At <\/span>UNITS\u00ae Moving and Portable Storage of Minneapolis<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> we offer different storage container sizes, and we\u2019ll deliver your belongings to your new home for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, it\u2019s so important to make sure that children feel like they have some sense of control in this chaotic time. Here are some tips for moving with children during the school year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Include your family when making important decisions by calling \u201cfamily meetings\u201d <\/b>Even if the decision to move has been made for you and the destination is already set in stone, it\u2019s essential to be honest and transparent with young children from the get-go. You want to avoid surprises and sudden changes, as they can make young kids feel unsettled. Try to keep everybody on the same page at all times because that will give everyone time to get their heads around the idea of packing up all their stuff into boxes and laying down roots in a new home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit the local schools in Minneapolis you\u2019re considering and let your child make the final decision. <\/b>Once you narrow it down to a couple of good choices, try to let the kids figure out where they want to go to school <\/span>independently<\/span><\/i>. This will be instrumental in making them feel like their opinion matters and control their future. After all, they\u2019re the ones who will have to attend for the rest of the school year! This is also an excellent opportunity to practice critical decision-making that will serve them for the rest of their lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving to Minneapolis? Be sure to visit with the whole family before you move.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

If you can make this reconnaissance mission feel like a fun family vacation, then your kids might even be looking forward to their new life when the moving day comes! Be sure to check out the local attractions and take advantage of them as a family. You can figure out which supermarkets, banks and post offices you\u2019ll frequent <\/span>later<\/span><\/i>.
