Teenagers may find it especially hard to move to a new place because they may feel cut off from their friends and routines. Here are five things you can do to help your kid get used to this big change.
Your kid should be involved in planning and talking about the move to make them feel more engaged.
Explore the new city together, researching schools, local hangouts, and activities that match their interests.
Keep the lines of conversation open. Help your kid talk about how they feel about the move, and don't judge them.
Ask them to join school clubs, sports teams, or neighborhood groups to help them adjust with new people.
Your positive attitude can make your teen feel more positive and able to handle this time of change.
