Questions
Everything you need to know.
When should I tell my child about the move?
2‑4 weeks before is ideal. Too early causes prolonged anxiety; too late leaves no time to process. The plan includes a timeline based on your weeks until move.
What if my child refuses to say goodbye to friends?
That's normal. Don't force it. The goodbye rituals section includes low‑pressure options like writing letters or drawing pictures instead of in‑person goodbyes.
How can I help my child stay in touch with old friends?
Schedule weekly video calls, pen pal letters, or a shared online game. The emotional toolkit includes a 'friendship map' to plan ongoing connections.
My child is starting to act out – is that normal?
Yes. Behaviour regressions (tantrums, clinginess, bedwetting) are common during transitions. The emotional toolkit includes scripts for these moments and when to seek extra help.
What if the move is due to divorce – how is that different?
The plan adjusts for divorce by focusing on emotional safety, co‑parenting communication, and reassurance that both parents still love them. Select 'divorce/separation' as the reason.
