Tips for Staying Afloat and Avoiding the Underwater Mortgage

Moving your children

Moving can be an exciting time in any family's life, but it can also be a time of worry and uncertainty for the smallest members of your family. Here are a few popular children's books to read with your little ones for the transition a bit easier on everyone.

The ever popular book entitled, The Berenstain Bears' Moving Day (First Time Books(R). This 32 page book follows the Bears as they make a move to a home with better soil for their farm. "This is the story of the Bear family's move to their now-famous tree house in Bear Country. Would Brother Bear like it? Would he find new friends? He wasn't sure until he got there." (Amazon)

Children can have a difficult time having their routines interrupted. Young children may have a hard time understanding where their toys are going, and if they'll ever see them again. As parents, it’s a hard but important job to make the transition of moving easy. These books may help to open a dialogue with young children.

Consider Moving House (Usborne First Experiences) by Anne Cavardi, to open up conversation with your preschooler. One parental review says, "This book is great to make moving to a new house, school, or city easier. It isn't one that we read again and again, but it did give a great opening for conversations of topics related to the move. It is one that I will share with friends when moving."

Receiving a 5 star review on I'm Not Moving, Mama  is the story of a little mouse who refuses to leave his room on moving day. Publishers Weekly says, "Children anxious about relocating will be comforted by Mama Mouse's calm and cheerful attitude toward his misgivings."School Library Journal writes, "Carlstrom's text is perfectly paced ... illustrations are calming and inventive ... especially rewarding."And finally, for your own reading, check out Lori Collins Burgan's "Moving with Kids: 25 Ways to Ease Your Family's Transition to a New Home". Library Journal writes of the work, "A no-nonsense, compassionate guide to helping children deal with the stress, trauma, and potential excitement of relocating...there are no other comparable titles in print. Easy to read and eminently useful, this is the ideal parents' helper when faced with a move across town or across the world."Be sure to check your local library or neighborhood bookstore for any of these great pieces of children's literature. And best of luck with your move!
