Boston Moving Company Helps Make Moving A Fun Adventure For Kids

Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Humboldt Storage and Moving, greater Boston’s oldest moving company, United Van Lines agent and experts in low-stress moving  has years of experience in the industry and has worked with many families and their children. The Boston moving company regularly helps in making moving less stressful for kids as they leave behind familiar friends, schools and other environments.

One of the easiest ways to get a child involved in moving is by giving them opportunities to express themselves. Allowing kids to do something as simple as draw a picture of how they might like their new room to look or permitting them to choose paint colors or a new bedspread can help them feel involved. Not only does this give them an outlet where they may feel they are contributing in some way, it helps create excitement about their new surroundings. Working side-by-side with your child to decorate their bedroom also opens doors for open and honest dialogue where you both may discuss their fears, excitement and the positive aspects of their transition.

A going-away party where your kids can invite their buddies is a great way to celebrate their friendships and demonstrate to children that these people will not be completely gone from their lives. At the party, your kids can create a ‘Friend’s Directory’ compiling contact information for all their friends and kids can write messages on a t-shirt or poster board so your child may have a keepsake to take to their new home.

“At Humboldt we aim to provide the best moving experience possible for our customers and their families. We are fortunate to have accumulated many years of experience working with kids to assist them in making a smooth transition to their new locations,” says James Sullivan, President & CEO of Humboldt Storage and Moving http://www.humboldt.com/. “Children look to their parents during stressful times as to how they should act. If you are positive and make moving a fun adventure, your kids will adjust quickly to their new home and surroundings.”

If possible, bring your kids to their new home and town prior to moving so they can explore and get excited about their new playgrounds, zoos and movie theaters. Also, it is
a great idea to let your child visit their new school before starting classes. The team at Humboldt will work with you and your children to provide comfort and ease during a busy, transitional time.
