Cross Country Movers Provide Helpful Advice For Falcon Heights, MN Parents
A long distance relocation can unquestionably be a complicated affair. But when you add kids to the mix, that complexity skyrockets and suddenly becomes a whole new level of stress. If you aren’t well prepared in advance, the transfer can seem downright chaotic. That’s why Berger Allied, cross country movers with years of industry experience, would like to offer Falcon Heights, MN parents the following helpful suggestions.
Let Kids Pack For Their Big Adventure
Okay, so maybe you don’t want your 5-year-old twins helping you pack your fine china, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be in charge of assembling their favorite toys. Once they do, let them pack their own things. It gives them some control over their environment, and it’s a great way to calm their insecurities. Also, consider setting aside art supplies before cross country movers arrive to load the truck, packing it in the car with you instead. Once at the new home, you can give the art supplies to the children, so they can decorate their room a bit on their own.
Grab That Camera And Take Some Pictures
An excellent way to ease any fears of an upcoming relocation is to spend time beforehand “collecting memories” with the use of your camera. In fact, this activity can really help children prepare for the change emotionally. Even if it’s just a street over or the next neighborhood, this transition can be a huge shock for youngsters. To lessen the strain, ask your kids what they’d like to remember about the old house or city, and spend an afternoon taking pics of those places. You may want to check out hotspots like the Ice Cream Social or Hot Dog With A Deputy activities, visit the green space around the University of Minnesota’s St. Paul Campus, Les Bolstad Golf Course or the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. After the move, the family can spend time creating a memory book with the images, writing down descriptions or funny stories about the locations.
Assemble And Organize The Children’s Rooms First
A great way to make kids comfortable in their new space is to unpack their items first. When you let them help out with the process, it not only gives them a job to do, but it also gives them some autonomy as they settle into their new surroundings. By the time cross country movers have left, children will feel much more comfortable in their own space. Thus, lessening the strain on both the little ones and their parents.
