How to make moving exciting for kids (Yes, it’s possible!)

Buyers Scott Hartley October 8, 2024

Are you dreaming of a bigger backyard for your little ones to run around in, or a safer neighborhood for them to play outside?

Maybe you're craving a kitchen where you can all cook together, or a cozy living room for movie nights.

Whatever your reasons, selling your home and moving with kids can feel like a daunting task.

I've helped countless families like yours navigate the selling and moving process with minimal meltdowns and maximum smiles.

Here's the secret: it's all about making it fun and easy for everyone involved.

Let's start with the kids:

  • Turn packing into a treasure hunt: Let them pack their favorite toys and books in special boxes, and create a scavenger hunt for them to find hidden treasures in the house.
  • Make a "moving day survival kit": Fill it with their favorite snacks, games, and activities to keep them entertained during the long day.
  • Host a "goodbye party" for their old house: Let them say goodbye to their home with a fun celebration, complete with cake and decorations
  • Get them involved in choosing the new house: Show them pictures and videos of potential homes, and let them vote on their favorite features.

And don't forget about yourself:

  • Hire a professional organizer: They can help you declutter and pack efficiently, so you're not overwhelmed by the moving process.
  • Schedule regular breaks: Moving is tiring, so make sure to take some time for yourself to relax and recharge.
  • Delegate tasks: Ask friends and family for help with packing, unpacking, and childcare.
  • Reward yourself: Celebrate your successes along the way, and treat yourself to something special once you're settled in your new home.

Remember, selling your home and moving with kids can be a fun and exciting adventure. With the right planning and a positive attitude, you can create a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone involved.
