Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.5 – Helping Kids Cope With Moving or New Schools: Moving or starting a new school often challenges a child’s sense of safety and belonging. Helping them cope means preparing both their mind and routine. Talk about what’s changing, but also highlight what stays the same—family, pets, bedtime stories, or favorite meals. Encourage them to help pack boxes and make decisions about their new space to restore a sense of control. Visiting the new school or neighborhood beforehand can ease the unknown. Parents should validate feelings of sadness or fear instead of dismissing them as overreactions. Creating a goodbye ritual to honor what’s left behind helps closure happen naturally. Once settled, celebrate small wins like finding a new friend or discovering a favorite place. Adjusting takes time, but consistent reassurance teaches that change can lead to growth. With guidance, children learn that home is built from connection, not just location.
