Three of those moves take place during childhood. Many parents may experience unnecessary guilt and anxiety about moving children, especially when the children are school age, says Dr. Glen O. Jen-sohead of the Department of Family and Human n, Development at Utah State University. "Many families undergo considerable inconvenience to avoid moving during the school year even though there are some advantages to moving then," Dr. Jenson says. School is the primary source for children to make new friends. If you move during the summer, your child will be faced with unfamiliar surroundings and a limited chance of making friends, Dr. Jenson says. When school does start in the fall, your child will be faced with an unfamiliar situation at a time when teachers are least able to help. Dr. Jenson says that if you move during the school year, your child will move more easily from one social situation to another. Your child will be able to get more attention from the whole class and the teacher.

Discuss the move. As soon as you know about the move, start preparing the children by having them discuss it with you. Allow children ample time to air their, feelings and concerns. Visit the new area. If possible, visit the new neighborhood to alleviate some of the fears your child may have about moving. If visits are not possible, try to obtain books, pamphlets, photographs and maps about the new area. The local chamber of commerce or travel council may be able to help. Pack, don't discard. It may be tempting to use a move as an opportunity to throw things out. You should be sensitive, though, that an old stuffed animal or rusty tricycle may have a special meaning to your child,.
