5 Best Tips for Moving to Your New Pleasanton Home with Children

If you have already found the perfect one among the many Pleasanton luxury homes for sale, then the next step is moving to it. The prospect of moving to a new home can be a challenging experience for adults. However, moving can also be a hard time for kids, who may not be part of the decision to move and might need help in understanding the situation. During this time of transition, children need time and special attention. Here are some tips to make the moving process to your new home less stressful for everyone.

1. Be positive about the moveAlthough leaving your old home behind and moving to your new residence can be slightly dreadful, try to stay positive so that your children will not pick up your anxiousness. If possible, get the children involved. Welcome any questions they may have and explain to them details of your Pleasanton CA luxury home and what will happen on moving day.

2. Ask for assistance

Asking a friend or a relative to help you can make a big difference. The friend can take the kids while you pack or help you sort out your closet. Having someone else with you will help you get so much more done.

3. De-cluttering while packingInform the kids that the preparation for moving day is a great way to cut through their clutter. For sure, there will be an assortment of items that you do not have to bring to your new home. Get the kids to assist you and to help you identify what should go with you and what you should leave behind. Assure them that it is ok to keep certain things that have sentimental value. However, things that are no longer being used should go in the toss pile.

4. Arrange a day out to your new area

Schedule a day where you can explore the fun and interesting places in your new community. You can take your kids to the playgrounds, pools, restaurants, movie theaters, museums, and local tourist attractions near your Pleasanton estate home for sale. You may also show them your new home if you have access to the property.

5. Make a checklist and give everyone an assignment

When it comes to moving, kids tend to worry about if all the things they care about will make it to their new home. To help them, make a checklist with your kids and list all the most important items for them. Pack everything in a “special box.” If possible, take the box with you in the car. Packing a bag of snacks or special items might also help during difficult moments as you make the move.

The whole idea of moving to new home can sometimes make a child apprehensive. Follow these tips to help them handle the strain of moving well.
