How to Reduce a Child's Fear of Moving to an Unknown Place
If at all possible try to organise a quick tour of the new house with the children. Most people will be more than accommodating when a request like this is made. They will be able to understand the concern a parent will have for a smooth transition into the new home.

 

Book a tour of the new school
Make sure you book a tour of the new school. Booking this is essential. Ask to see some teaching staff as part of the tour request. Discuss with the teaching staff any concerns relating to how the move will impact on the children's academic life.

 
Take a tour of the new suburb or town
Go to the local tourism office. Collect all the brochures and visit the highlights. Take some photos and engage the children in getting excited about the many new possibilities brought about by the move. Visit a café and go over the brochures from the tourist office. Make a list of things that the whole family can do together once the move is made.

Pay special interest to anything of an historical nature. History is a great way to discover just how the town got to where it is now. Talking about history can be a way to show kids how communities develop.  It will help engender pride of place and help to consolidate their sense of belonging. Discuss the history with them and get them to tell you if they are still fearful about anything. This will be the perfect opportunity to allay any fears that are brought up.

Putting the move into perspective

Above all, talk to the children about the great adventure of life. About gaining new friends and experiences as new adventures and the thrills of growing up present themselves. Tell them that they are not alone, that thousands of kids from all over Australia and their families move home all the time. Impress upon them that the negative side of relocating will soon be replaced with the excitement that comes with meeting new friends and seeing new places.
