How to tell kids that we're moving...


My family is relocating across the country in the middle of the spring semester. We have two daughters (5 & 7) that we'll have to inform about this move, and I'm of two minds about when to break the news to them. On the one hand, I could see how telling them as soon as possible could enable them to get used to the idea and say goodbye to friends. On the other hand, I could see how delaying telling them as long as possible could foreshorten the period of anxiety (leading to distraction at school) that will be associated with the move. Any thoughts or advice are appreciated. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2ijWjGh
