Moving out to a new home is not all fun most especially for kids. Aside from the fact that your kids will have to adjust to their new environment, they also need to leave behind their playmates.
Now, what you can do is to ensure that you involve your children especially if they are already old enough. Make them part of the decision even if you are still in the planning stage. Listen to them if they are raising some concern or even when they are just stating their opinion regarding any matter pertaining to your moving out from your old home. As you listen to them you will learn to understand what they really wanted and you might even be surprised that they too have some point in the argument.
As you narrow your discussion get some more feedback from your kids. As much as possible, you may also bring them with you to visit your new home so they too can have a glimpse of what to expect. If bringing them along is not possible then you need to show them pictures every you visit or you may call them using social media sites then show them the area. As you go home share stories regarding your neighborhood so they will feel at ease the moment you have moved into your new home.
Another good idea is to ask them what is their favorite part of your current home then incorporate it into your new home, by doing so they would feel much difference and they will feel at home.
