Whether their new home is across town or across the country, kids often have a difficult time moving. Every year, 13 million children leave behind a familiar community, friends, and school to face the unknown. Moving is stressful for parents too, as they not only have to prepare themselves, but must also help their children cope with these changes. Moving with Kids offers 25 practical and inspiring tips to help parents ease their children’s transition and make the move a positive experience. Through her own experiences as a mother of three whose family has moved multiple times, as well as through interviews with other families who have moved frequently, Lori Collins Burgan provides parents with valuable, action-oriented advice. Topics include giving kids a sense of control and involvement in the move, making the physical move less stressful, and creating a sense of belonging in their new home. Written with busy parents in mind, Moving with Kids consists of 25 concise chapters, allowing readers to quickly and easily find the information they are looking for. This book is a great resource for parents whose careers necessitate frequent moves, military families, or anyone looking to reassure and help children through this period of significant changes.

Praise
“Having moved 22 times in 33 years during my husband’s military career, I can relate to each of the experiences outlined in Moving with Kids. The most important thing for parents to remember is that YOU are your children’s security, that constant in their lives. We learned through our moves that home is wherever you are…together. It is the family, not the house or the town, that makes it home.”
—Alma Powell, chair of America’s Promise—The Alliance for Youth and wife of former U.S. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell
“Our family has made a lot of moves, and all of them were challenging, for different reasons. This book addresses all these challenges and then some, and helps parents provide the stability, as well as the adventure, that our kids need.”
—Martha and William Sears, parents of eight and authors of The Baby Book and The Successful Child
“Military parents know that one of the most stressful times in their household is moving time. Moving with Kids provides readers with sound practical advice that many families will find useful and easy to apply.”
