No ... this is not a blog to address how to “pack” children and pets. But if only, right? Of course we jest. But the fact is, in a relatively short period of time, indeed you will be “packing up” this, your most precious cargo. There are things to consider in advance.
Preparing your children: Very young children will not begin to grasp the reality of your household move until their toys are boxed up. It is then that confusion, fear, sadness, and anger set in. Your thinking that what will follow here is predictable advice from Captain Obvious……talk about the upcoming move, discuss the excitement of meeting new friends, etc, etc. Yes, this is fundamentally important. But the single most important thing you can do to prepare your child for the move is…….prepare yourself.
Moving is stressful….no ifs, ands, or buts. If you fail to manage your own move-related stress and by doing so subject your children to YOUR anger, worry, and complaint, then how might your child interpret the move as anything other than something negative and something to fear? From the moment your decision to move is finalized, this critically important subject warrants personal reflection and the need to jointly discuss with your spouse.
Preparing to move your pets: Although the preparatory list for pets is long, the best advice we can give is to schedule a visit with the best consultant available to you….your Veterinarian. Getting mandatory immunizations and necessary treatments done early is the most humane and loving thing you can do for your pet. Lessen travel stress on your pet by taking your pet out for short trips before the big move using the exact vehicle, carrier, and conditions that will be used on moving day.
