A household move needs both logistics and continuity for children.
Prepare familiar essentials
Keep favourite items, medicines, school information and first-night supplies accessible. Explain the timetable and arrange safe supervision during loading and unloading. Never leave children in vehicles.
Introduce the new routine
Plan school, transport and local services early and visit when access is permitted. Let children participate in age-appropriate tasks without making them responsible for the move. They may settle quickly or need longer; keep communication open rather than promising a stress-free transition.
