Moving Day: Helping Children Adjust to a New Home by Karen Stephens 14th ANNUAL EDITION _2011/12 • Kelowna Child Care Society Childhood changes vary from one developmental stage to another. Whatever the change, it can create emotional stress for all family members. Moving to a new home is one example. For children, a move may mean leaving known friends and loved relatives. They’ll leave behind familiar sounds, scents, and sights of home. A move requires children to develop new relationships with peers and adults in a different child care program or school. Even though a household move temporarily interrupts a child’s predictable routines and comfort, a move in itself isn’t necessarily bad. A move can help children learn to be adaptable, flexible, resilient, self-confident, brave, and capable of making new friends. Moves can broaden children’s experiences and introduce them to greater diversity. But of course, not all family moves are equal. Sometimes a move is required for a parent’s job promotion or to be nearer extended family. Other times a move is required for a disappointing, more disruptive reason, such as job loss, parent divorce, or even natural disaster. And while most moves are planned, some children must adjust to emergency or very shortnotice moves. Each situation offers unique challenges. How children face and adjust to a move will vary according to age, inborn temperament, personality, experience, and family harmony. The first supportive step parents can take is to communicate honestly with children and then model and nurture positive coping skills. . emergent curriculum . small classes .
