• A stress-free move with children might seem
  like somewhat of an oxymoron, but it is possible.
  Take it from a removals company that has seen and
  done it all, when it comes to moving families
  locally and even interstate, there are ways to
  take the stress out of moving when you've got
  little ones running about.

• Also, don't forget that leaving ones home can
  be pretty traumatic for a kid, so making moving
  day as fun as possible is also important for
  helping to alleviate their stress and reducing
  the risk of melt-downs.
• Take note of these proven tips and ensure your
  family's move is a positive experience for
  everyone

• 1. Give them a Task While a small child won't
  be able to do any heavy lifting and you won't
  want to entrust them with packing the dishes,
  there are simple jobs you can give them to make
  them feel important on moving day, not to mention
  keep them occupied.

• Small kids, for instance, can be tasked with
  giving the people from the removals company water
  or other refreshments, and older kids can be on
  hand to tell movers where certain pieces of
  furniture and boxes go. Or, get them to clean and
  sweep out an emptied room.

• 2. Packing Games If you've decided to some or
  all of the packing yourselves instead of
  entrusting this task to a removals company, get
  your kids involved. There are a variety of
  packing games you can create, but the following
  have been kid-approved.
• A Scavenger Hunt Create a list of all the
  items you wish to pack and have the kids 'hunt'
  for them around the house. Your children will
  enjoy the challenge of finding and collecting
  items while you'll be able to check one more
  thing off your list.

• Basketball Obviously, you don't want to play
  this game with anything that's fragile, but if
  you're looking to round up the kids' stuffed
  animal collection or the heap of clothes on the
  floor, it can be a lot of fun. Open a suitcase or
  box in the middle of the room and see who can get
  the most 'baskets.
• 3. Hire a Removals Company Hands-down, the
  easiest way to make moving day a breeze for the
  entire family is to hire professionals. w
