These are helpful tips. As a military family we have moved with kids multiple times and I always start talking about the new location early on especially what there will be to do there. We get out the map too and talk about where we live in relation to where we will be moving-and where family lives. It is tough uprooting every 3 years, but I think kids gain a resiliency-and you are exactly right that we have to involve them in the mourning process (if needed) too!

In reply to Ticia Adventures in Mommydom. That's a fun way to code boxes!

In reply to Jen. I always loved getting our stuff when we moved to a new country!

I remember when we moved I got special stickers to put on the boxes to show which room they went in, and that was a lot of fun.

We’ve moved so much that I don’t think my kids have ever really gotten attached to a house. I do remember the day, though, that our belongings arrived into S. Africa from the states. They were jumping with glee and it really helped them settle into our new house in a foreign land.
