There are more than just logistical challenges when you move with children. Many kids feel emotional about leaving their friends or old home behind. Here are some common challenges kids face when moving and ways to help them feel more comfortable in their new place.

When Your Child is Nervous About a New School …

Coordinate a tour of the school before her first day so she can get familiar with the building. Introduce her to teachers and a few classmates so she’ll have connections on her first day.

When Your Child is Upset About Leaving Friends Behind …

Put together treats your child can use to remember her far-away friends. Include a photo album, frames, and other mementos from your child’s hometown.

When Your Child is Worried the New City Won’t Have Familiar Activities …

Get your REALTOR® to help you find out where your child can participate in the hobbies she enjoys. Whether she likes to play soccer or take art classes, your Texas REALTOR® should be able to point you in the right direction for similar activities in your new location.
