Parents should recognize this and be prepared to talk through the move and its consequences with their children, says Glen Jenson, Utah State University Extension family and human development : specialist. A move during the school year can have some real advantages for children, Jenson says. School is a primary source for new friends. A move during the summer when school is not in session will put your children in unfamiliar surroundings at a time when they have less chance of making new friends. When school does start in the fall, your child will still start as a stranger, but the teachers will have the added burden of new classes, and a whole roomful of other new faces and personalities. It will be easy for a teacher to not notice your child, Jenson says. A move during the school year allows your child to move from one social scene to another more quickly.

He says this can be done with more emphasis on a one on one type acquaintance and in a more relaxed atmothe sphere than that found in hustle and bustle ofthe school year. It can also be a time when the family has more impact on the children because there are fewer peers to influence their childrens behavior. As a result, a summertime moye could bring the family closer together. Regardless of the time of year, it is important to give children advance notice about a move so s and they can plan the talk through any concerns they may have, Jenson cautions. Its a good idea to pack some of the childs best and most frequently used play equipment where it is easily accessible once you arrive at the new residence. Children will also likely neeid multiple opportunities to talk about their feeling regarding the anticipated move. Once the move has happened, your child will likely want to call their former close friends and tell them about the new location, Jenson says. Parents should try to spend additional time with their children for the first few weeks ofthe move. That extra time could be spent getting acquainted with other families in the new neighborhood and getting better acquainted with how to get to and from school, Jenson says. He says it should be reassuring to know that research focusing on children who have Changed schools, for the most part, indicate little detrimental effect if the child is involved in the discussion and process of moving. Most children tend to adapt quickly and comfortably. In many cases, children who have moved to a new location and school, thrive and do better academically than they did at the former school. The opportunity to start new and fresh is good for all of us. most schools is flexible enough to allow for a mid-yetransfer with a minimum of academic comfort to the individual or to the school system, Jenson says. At the departure end of the move, children are also more likely to get the special attention ar . they need in this transition, he says. Old school and classmates may seem even more important and special to the hild if the whole class is involved in knowing of the move. The child can get more attention from his classmates and friends than he or she could if the family moved during the summer months. good-bye- Still, summer moves can have some real advantages, Jenson says. Summers tend to offer a more relaxed time for both parents and the child. Its important for children to be involved in the moving process and summer months allow more time for children to participate in planning and caring out of the move. Parents and the children may even be able to visit the new location a time or two before the actual move. Summertime moves can allow children time to choose one or Three named toSUU Honor Roll Jack Bailey and Louis Bailey, both of Nephi, and Raegan Jones of Levan have been named to the spring quarter Southern Utah University deans list.
