[quote=Anonymous]I was your DC. What helps? Continuing with activities, like sports and or joining a neighborhood pool in the new location. Move with a hit-the-ground running mentality. Research the schools now, register now if you can. Make certain your students can attend a new school orientation so they don’t have to arrive on the first day of school having never seen inside the school. Also get your DC engaged and or interested in something with the new house. I still remember being so excited to move into a very cool pink room that had been the teenage girl’s bedroom. That was my motivation as a 13 YO. Maybe new furniture or DC can select what BR. There’s so much comfort in the familiar; don’t make wholesale changes right away and be sure that DC comfort items aren’t all packed away - allow DCs to leave out certain clothes, bedding, etc and maybe even have them have some decision making about what to move/donate/pack/keep out…[/quote]
