Visiting the people and places the child will miss or that have sentimental significance and taking a picture of the goodbye. If you print out the pictures and put them in a little photo album (Dollar Tree has good options) than the child has a little book of all their favorite memories to look back on. We didn't end up really doing that this time, but we did make sure to get a few last pictures with their little friends.Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-62415478265846891722017-05-06T08:50:20.942-05:002017-05-06T08:50:20.942-05:00Thanks for these.

We're moving in a couple of weeks from East coast to West coast and although it's nothing new for me, it's the first big one for our 8 yr old ..that he'll remember. Some of these tips I hadn't thought of such as having them look at pics of new places and reading books about moving C A Lemonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078195685712514677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-42418395320513146722017-05-05T14:57:54.616-05:002017-05-05T14:57:54.616-05:00That's a lot of moving!

Not looking forward to doing this all again in less than a year, but it won't be nearly as big of a haul.<br />Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-4127869525558148452017-05-05T14:49:57.423-05:002017-05-05T14:49:57.423-05:00We moved six times in 7 years with the army when o...We moved six times in 7 years with the army when our oldest 3 were little, little.

I've never moved with little kids of my own, but when I was 8 1/2, my parents moved myself and my 3 siblings (two of them younger than I) across the country, and it was an adventure! Something that made it a lot more fun was that my parents pulled out special new books for us to look at in the car :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.com
