Selling Your Home and Moving, Remember to Include Your Children

Children often look at homeas their safe haven and change can be very difficult and scary for them. It is very important to include them in all stages of the transition. Talk to them and ask them for suggestions and encourage them to share their ideas. Letting a child be involved in the transition gives them permission to talk about their feelings, and helps them adjust better the move. It takes the scary out of change and helps it become an adventure and ease the transition of the move.

Here are a few suggestions to put your child at ease.

Early in the process talk to your child about the reasons for the move.

Listen to your child's feelings and looks for signs of stress. Children look to you on how to cope.

If selling your home let your child leave something out that he/she is proud of in their bedroom.

Let your child know that their role in selling the home is very important.

And finally remember kids are kids don't expect them to be perfect
