Easing your teen’s fears and frustrations as you transition to a new home
If you are facing a move in the near future, don’t panic. Instead, take a deep breath and begin by repeating Proverbs 16:9. Then consider these guidelines to ease the process of moving your family.
Susan Miller and her family have moved 10 times, so she’s familiar with the roller coaster of emotions. Susan’s learned that getting everyone connected to the new community makes a big difference in the adjustment.
Depending on their ages, children respond differently to the losses they feel from moving. Parents need to help them understand that with all endings come opportunities for new beginnings.
