How Relocating Influence Your Children



As a most of us are foreigners in Dubai we are all aware of stress and changes moving brought to our lives. Every major change in the family means stress for each member. Whether it's a child's upbringing, a loss of a family member or any other type of major change….

One of the biggest stresses in each family is certainly relocation.
If for any reason you are planning to relocate your family to another city or state please make sure to carefully consider few things!


1-Do not overly what you expect from the new residential area and the place you are moving into. Every detail cannot be known, and you have a real image in your head and so teach children. Children should not understand moving as something negative but you need to explain it to them. so conversation is key! It is very important that you listen to them and be careful with their feelings! Tell them it's normal if they feel sad or if they're tense!

2-When preparing a child for relocation you must be fully committed to it. Children are otherwise very helpless, because they cannot decide because they listen to their parents and often nobody asks them what they think! Include your children in the process of moving, off course if they are capable of understanding it that is, if they are old enough Let them help you in the packaging and protection, marking, if they can write, they should be in charge of it. You can use pens of different colors, which will surely be interesting to them. Be attentive to their belongings, toys, furniture, wardrobes, school supplies, books ... You will have help, fun and children will think they are an important factor during the moving process


3-Your child can be emotionally related to more people from your current environment. Before you start preparing for relocation, you should also inform these people of the change of residence.


4-Make sure that children are more difficult because they are separated from friends and are more likely to get used to the new environment. Explain to them that they will meet new friends in a new location, and they will be able to hear with the old ones over the phone or the Internet.



5-If you are sure of the justification of the change, explain the reasons to your child. This can be a change of employment, housing reasons.... Specifically explain why you expect to be better in this new place.

6-Do not get extra nervous. If something goes wrong stop, inhale and consult with your partner. Do not let your children see you in the stressed stage. That way you'll just be putting them on the wound. To avoid this, organize yourself in time.



7-Ask and find in a new place the things your child will be interested in.  It is important to explain to your children that they will move but what the benefits of this move are. It can be a better part of the city, another city or country. By moving to another location you can have more space, children's room or large green courtyard where they can enjoy and play in nature. If you move from an apartment to a house, it can be a good place for your children to get the desired pet! Of course, by changing the middle they will not lose old friends but they can get new ones. If your children are at school, explain that they will change school, teachers and get new friends

8-It is very important how you will behave in a new space. There is no need to change habits (meals, playing, swimming, sleeping) so if you can first provide a baby room. That way your child will understand the importance and even better feel in the new home. You can make a surprise to your child, if you talked to a child before moving out, she expressed a special desire for something.

As soon as your child gets used to a new environment, everyone will be easier! Everyone will be happy and satisfied! If you foresee something or ignore it, you can forget about problems, great stress and depression! Do not forget that the child in you sees the idol and he will probably repeat all your mistakes. So once again, stress and nervousness, shouting and quarreling are out of the question!


Finally, explain to the child that everyday rituals within the family, such as a trip or playing cards, will not change. This will make the child feel safe.
Reduce stress the best you can. If you do not know how at least try to conceal it. This will move everyone easier and painlessly and by discussion and 2 way conversation you will achieve peace!

Nursery/Kindergarten - The secret to a successful adaptation A child who comes to the nursery for the first time feels alone, lost and helpless. How can you help him? For most children, going to a nursery or kindergarten is the first separation from their parents. They see it as confronting an unfamiliar space, in which parents leave it to strangers. What does the period of adaptation of the child to the nursery or nursery look like? - we prefer to use the term adaptation, and the question that arises is: Who has a harder time living that period?
