How to Help Your Teen Adjust to a Move

Younger children are often considered first when a family makes a decision about moving out of their community. How will the relocation affect them? While it is important for younger family members to understand reasons for the move, it is also important to remember your teen during this time. Teens have a big investment in their current neighborhood, such as friends, school, and activities. Your highly-trained Sunnyvale movers want you and your teen to become well-adjusted to your new community. Consider the following to ensure your teen is prepared for a move:  

Inform

To keep your teen informed, take time often to discuss details of the move, such as the new house, neighborhood, and school. Be sure to point out the positives that this move will bring. Attempt to guide them away from talking in excess about what they will leave behind in the move.

Research

It is important to keep your teen's school curriculum consistent whenever possible to ensure a successful adjustment to his/her new school.  

Involve

Encourage your teen to assist with the moving process, such as packing, locating quality Sunnyvale movers, and planning fun activities in your new neighborhood. Getting your teen involved helps them look forward to arriving at their new home.
