HOUSE REMOVALS SYDNEY

When we move we understand how to look at the positives from a stressful situation; maybe a bigger house, a new neighbourhood, a chance to declutter or redecorate and the commencement of the new chapter in your life. However, it may not be as easy for children, especially for the littler ones. Moving can be scary and even cause some anxious moments so making the whole experience less stressful is difficult.

Here are a few simple things that may assist your children in lessening the impact of a move:

1. You need to explain to your kids what is going on in words they understand. The least amount of surprises for them the better and make sure they get the positives, like fun things about the new location. Assure them that all of their toys, clothes and treasured possessions will all be in their new room waiting for them.
2. Get them involved with the move and even let them help out with some of the packing to avoid making the whole experience less daunting for them. Younger children can collect all their
   toys for boxing up while older kids can help pack books and wrap items in newspaper. Make packing fun by talking about the memories that go along with your items and where they’re going to live in your new home.
3. Break your move up into stages. Pack up some of your lesser used items early and even think about utilizing a storage facility to make the big day more manageable. This will also reduce the clutter in the home which could get in the way during the move. Give us a call to discuss the best storage options that Removalist Sydney has to offer.
4. Familiar items and memories from your old home will make the settling in period less traumatic for the children. This could be as simple as putting up pictures straight away, re-hanging curtains or having photos of the old house and neighbourhood to hand.
5. With the help of your Sydney removalists, they can keep any disruptions to you daily routine to a minimum. This will help the kids feel reassured during the moving period. Going to bed at their usual time and maintaining regular family activities and talking about how these things will stay the same once you move.
6. Allow each of your kids to collect their favourite items and pack them in a special box to keep with them during the move. Keep it with you, instead of in the truck, and let them unpack it straight away at the new house. Make sure there are practical items like their pillow and pyjamas as well as their favourite toys which will help them feel more at home, right from the get go.
7. Ask your family and friends for a little either with the packing, unpacking or even just as a distraction for the kids. The extra hands will give you more time to get stuff done and ease the stress of the move.
8. When you call us to arrange a removal, tell them that you have kids so that they will be prepared for when they come to move you.
